Last Saturday was the day of the Latgale Congress, on Sunday the 20th International Meeting of Folk Musicians was held in Vabole, Upper Daugava region, and a large crowd of Latgalians was also present in Riga, because the 35th anniversary concert “VYSI MUNI GOSTI BEJA” of the Latgale Folk Song Ensemble “Olūteņš” was played.
And – we invited Edeiti Laimi, the leader of the Latgalian cultural movement “Voluuda” and a member of the same movement’s folklore group “Ceidari” to the conversation!
Latgalians are more and more common in Riga! “Olūteņim” is 35 years old – and a holiday does not happen without friends, so guests, or guests, greeted the ensemble with songs and warm wishes. “, and guitarist Įrts Pavēnis also took part in the concert.
Latgalians in Riga – stick together! Both “Olūtenš” and “Ceidari” ensembles operate in Riga. While “Olūteņi” is already 35 years old, meanwhile “Ceidari” recently brightly celebrated the decade by releasing a new album.
But Edeiti Laimi we invited to the conversation to learn more about Latgalian cultural movement “Voluuda”. We found out what things and for what purpose the Latgalian cultural movement “Volūda” “moves”. https://www.voluda.lv/
