*European ethnos* shining brightly. Amazing. My fellow European people, worldwide, we're _far more older than Christianity!_ Much respect to the Latvian people.
I'm Lithuanian. I must say respect for you Latvians, what a great festival you made. The first song is exceptional, especially the end. I can imagine the feeling being there at that moment. Keep your traditions, and never give them up.
@@MartinWinter99 I'm sorry to break this to you, but there certainly has been a very pure, genuine and first and foremost organic culture in the Baltics for a long time. It still manifests itself in songs and festivals like this. To accept and understand this is staying open to the world. Trying to mix everything together for short term comfort and gain under the modern capital lead way of life is not. The Baltics have some of the most original and pure European culture left in them, in many ways. I hope it stays this way.
@@MartinWinter99 You can't wash away DNA in one generation it takes multiple generations and from one and the same source. If you mix Latvian with German and in the next generation Russian, then you are more Latvian than anything else. In next generations you can regain most of the DNA what you loosed. So the Baltic DNA is strictly distinct from other regions, but all 3 countries have very similar despite language differences. See Masaman channel for reference "The Rise and Fall of the Balts".
I found this because i started looking into European culture, i grabbed something to eat and couldnt write out any interesting things on websites and stuff so i looked up Latvian songs and founds this. Wow, just wow. I cant believe this happened and i didnt know about it, so beautiful. More people need to know about events like this, real people with their real culture and not media bs, especially with how *massive* this event was.
This festival happens in Latvia every 5 years if I’m correct. It is very massive thing in Latvia and for Latvians. But I really don’t know why it’s not mentioned anywhere internationally 😕
I was there in 1990 and sung with them only 3 songs. It was absolutely amazing, the experience as no other, we were so happy singing there. The only choir from a different country, only 12 singers from Venezuela. We were invited by the Music Conservatory of Riga, and sung all around Latvia. I have not words to describe how beautiful, inspiring, and deep was our experience there. Pal Dies!
It really is. Latvia is one of the most peaceful, beautiful and welcoming places on the planet, where it's culture is magnificent and wonderful in every way shape or form. I'm proud to be a Latvian, and always will be. And it's you, precious people that acknowledge us, our country, Latvia.
You should add one thing to your bucket list - be there when it's live! I promise you the feeling is totally different than listening from your computer. I was singing there and it was my favorite summer of all the time! IT'S AMAZING!
@@mdjey2 It's a bit difficult to place Finland in any "Block" of countries so to speak. We are not really Scandinavians or Baltics either, but in between I guess. Once in our history Pre-WWII there was actually a strong political drive by certain groups to align Finland with the Baltics and obviously we have a lot in common with the Baltic countries, but usually Finland has never been considered Baltic. I think we should co-operate far more with the Baltics though!
We have this festival it is called "dziesmu un deju svētķi/song and dance festival"there we sing our tradicionla song and we dance in our tradicional songs,im so happy that i live in latvia :)
This reminds me a little of the national song of Wales, which has the same soaring hope and pride of a people in their land. And it is wonderful music from a brave country that survived so much pain and darkness to rise again. Lai dzīvo brīvā Latvija!
Thank You Da Man! This is our reaction to constant oppression against our land, which basically spans more than 1500 years. Vikings, German crusaders, Prussia, Various czars, Nazis/bolsheviks (WW 1+2), you name it. Nothing can break a true latvian :)
Songs are as follows: 5. - Lec, saulīte! (Rise, sun!) - a song about remembering who you are, the teachings of old, clarity of mind and purpouse, and a hope for better days ahead. 4. - Manai dzimtenei (For my homeland) - a song of defiance against impossible odds and a grim fate, a rememberance in-song about the freedomfighters of old who stood their ground in face of certain death to defend their homes, hoping their sacrifice would lead to a better future for the people. 3. - rokoperas LĀČPLĒSIS fragmenti (exempts from the rock-opera "Bear-ripper") - a song about a metaphorical small child that is Latvia who finds itself in crossroads, surrounded by beating hooves and rolling wheels, with a dreaded sense that time is running out. Ultimately, a song about a country calling out to its people to help find its way. 2. - Virs galvas mūžīgs Piena ceļš (Above my head a Milky Way eternal) - A song about travel, seeing the world, but ultimately finding your way back home. A song about how one might think the grass is greener elsewhere, but the greenest will always be back home. A song about finding where you belong, finding a way to your "happy land" and realizing it was your home all along. 1. - Saule, Pērkons, Daugava (Sun, Thunder, Daugava (largest river in Latvia)) - A song of strength. About gaining strength from the white sea, the green hills and plains and the unyielding people who have always endured. A song about the gods of old: Sun - the bringer of life and fulfillment; Thunder - the patriarch of all the gods and god of creation and the sky, the smiter of foes; and Daugava - depicted as the river of fate and bringer of omens. How they all once came together to forge the land, and afterwards, the people to defend it.
@@carolinafreimanis3040 Could be a real possiblity. I recall my grandmother telling me we had some distant relatives over in the US and/or Canada. Not sure where though.

I was singing in 2018 Lithuanian Song and Dance Festival, and thought it was cool, but man, after hearing this... I learned my 3 first latvian songs ASAP, as they are soooo beautiful... and language is not that difficult for a native lithuanian. Reminders of our Baltic pagan roots, our past as tribes that kept eternal flame in mounds, and offering goods to Gods Perkūnas, Laima, Gabija and others near sacred rivers of Daugava (Latvians) or Nemunas (Lithuanians).

Correction. We are not Nordic people. We are Baltic, just like Lithuanians. But thank you for your appreciation for our culture and history! We Latvians are way too stubborn to go down easily!
@samo zeleno Christianity is not Paganism my friend. What you are saying is purely regurgitated Abrahamic propaganda that people have been taught for many many years. Satanism is what you are thinking of when it comes to "dark". Real Paganism is purely a folk religion and has nothing to do with evil. It is the light.
Such a moving and inspiring beginning to my day as I watch and listen to this awesome performance. I have tears in my eyes and am thankful to have heard about this from a dear friend, Marc, who was there singing. Beautiful people, all!
Glad to hear that they showed it in Germany. Maybe that could be some inspiration for them since they have basically lost all their pride of their culture and race since 1945 when the winners wrote a phony history for them and they were forced to believe it and teach it in school ever since. It is really sad how they have come down and almost want to disown their ancestors. Yes, they want to disown the history they are taught is theirs, well maybe they sense that it can't be the truth.

Wow. The crowd is pretty small compared to the estonian singing Festival... 😂Just kiddin we are Brothers🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻 (nearly) Same culture, Tradition and history
I actually was wondering, do you guys have singing for two days or one? We have the general rehearsal day before which is almost the same with all crowd just without afterparty which is in clothing concert.
Most of the lyrics can be found on dziesmas.lv, for example, for the first song: www.dziesmas.lv/d/Lec_saulite/23735 Translations (subtitles) of these songs and more: czcams.com/channels/K4hhbGI70acNwPDJphS_4A.html (many thanks to Līga Saule)
Estonians have pretty much the same genetic material with their Baltic neighbours (yes, the second closest is with finno-ugric Finns) - it's mostly the language and history difference.
If you only knew how much closer Estonians are to other Finnics than to Balts. Thinking otherwise just tells you don't know enough Finnic history. Balts too are widely Finnic by genetics nowadays due to Livonians.

Wow. The crowd is pretty small compared to the estonian singing Festival...
😂Just kiddin we are Brothers🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻 (nearly) Same culture, Tradition and history
I actually was wondering, do you guys have singing for two days or one? We have the general rehearsal day before which is almost the same with all crowd just without afterparty which is in clothing concert.

Great! Paldies .Дякую!
Maybe Estonians geneticly are related to the Finno Ugrics but I still feel more related to the other baltic Nations.
Estonians have pretty much the same genetic material with their Baltic neighbours (yes, the second closest is with finno-ugric Finns) - it's mostly the language and history difference.
If you only knew how much closer Estonians are to other Finnics than to Balts. Thinking otherwise just tells you don't know enough Finnic history. Balts too are widely Finnic by genetics nowadays due to Livonians.
Someone has forgotten their own Livonian blood. Such a shame that Estonians are so desperate to be seen as Scandinavian.
Paldies par to ka Jūs esat 👌. Ar Jums ir forši 👌!
@@sakkijarvenpolkka2090 paldies, mēs esam ļoti tuvi 👍
We survive in Soviet time because have song and get freedom from Soviet occupation
interesanti kas tevi okupēja Vilis Lācis un vēl daudzi tūkstoši citu latviešu ?
Juris Lagzdins un tagad vēl lielos amatos sēž bijušie čekisti ? Arī tā saucamie latvieši ! Tev taisnība , kad mūsu paaudze izmirs , tad tikai varēsim teikt , ka bijām okupēti .
Sakārto savu sakāmo, citādi grābstīšanās gar pagātnes notikumiem vien sanāk.
Wow !!! Tegyvuoja Latvija !!! Jus nuostabus !!!
NĀCIJA AR NĀKOTNI!:)
Such beautiful Singing !!!
Can we find this in stereo someplace? I have added Latvia to my European tour!
Beautiful
Hello can you connect me
Thank you so much to pick this top 5
I'm in the tenor section!! This was a "bucket list" item for me. You picked some good ones! Your next 5 would be just as special! ~Thanks/paldies.
My older sister is a second soprano and was also singing as well
Ļoti priecājos par dziesmām
So beautiful
Über dergleichen eigenständige Kulturbewegungen wird in D nichts berichtet. Welch ein Niveau ggü. dem propagierten "European Song Contest". Nothing to hear in Germany about such powerful own culture there. What a high level in contrast to the promoted commercial "European Song Contest"!
Nice from kabylian people
Спасибо.Вы с какой планеты?
Mi deti Solnca, mi deti Boga, mi deti nebes.
echt was geboten sowas sollten die Leute kennen^^
Machen Sie Werbung :-) 2023 das nächste Hauptevent, dazwischen kommt noch ein Jugend- Sängerfest. Und wenn Sie wollen: finden Sie einen lettischen Chor in Ihrer Nähe und fangen Sie 2022 mit den Proben an! Gäste sind immer willkommen.

Man patīka visus dziasmas 😋
