RE: My version of traditional Latvian Folk Ballad about people lost at sea: "Jūrā gāju naudas gūti" Music Video and story behind the song

Beautiful as always - love your singing and music!

The palette on instruments is more acoustic instruments and nature sounds. I really like to reimagine old songs with folklore. And thank you. An original about to be released too

Yep the re-imagining of old songs is super interesting - thanks again for sharing - love all your stuff to be honest!

Though nothing can compared to writing my own songs I really love to explore the folklore and mythology and legends from other countries through song. It is also a way to explore the phonetics of a foreign language which I always find challenging. Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment. Are you attending hivefest, I wish I could.

I think it's an amazing thing to take something old and give it a new life or a new twist. Not replacing it of course - but building on it and evolving it. I have not done much of this but a very long time ago I played the church organ and in recent years sometimes I make piano improvisations based on the chords from chants written for psalms.

Yes I'm going to Hive Fest - I wish you could be there too but understand it's impractical/expensive for a lot of people, especially this year,
