The Livonian music album J\u016aRD\/SAKNES\/ROOTS<\/a> unites songs in the languages of the different Livonian tribes that were located in Latvia. These traditional songs and melodies have been interpreted by the composers U\u0123is Prauli\u0146\u0161, Laima Jansone and Edgars Be\u013cickis. This album unites an eclectic mix of choir, ethnic and world music elements. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\u016aRD\/SAKNES\/ROOTS<\/strong><\/a> was innitiated by the conductor of the Saulkrasti mixed choir ANIMA, as well as singer of the vocal group Latvian Voices<\/em> and Vintage Ensemble Neaizmirstul\u012btes <\/em>Laura Leontjeva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe idea originated in 2014 when we explored the cultural heritage of Saulkrasti in the concertprogramme \u201cSaules krastos\u201d. We especially resonated to the theme of the Livonians of Vidzeme, that is why I asked the composer U\u0123is Prauli\u0146\u0161 to create music using Livonian folksongs\u201d Laura Leontjeva tells. Short video about the creation of the album.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the interpretations of Livonian folksongs by Laima Jansone and Edgars Be\u013cickis, the album includes the cycle composed by U\u0123is Prauli\u0146\u0161 \u201cL\u012bvu sasauk\u0161an\u0101s\u201d which is based in a number of Livonian folk music traditions. U\u0123is Prauli\u0146\u0161 says “I wanted to find especially songs and texts from the Vidzeme Livonians, but I managed to gather all the Fino-Ugrians that have lived in Latvia – Livs, Leivs and Lutsi:  tribes located on the Southern border of the Fino-Ugric area with their echos in Saarema and P\u00e4rnu.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLatvia is the homecountry of the Livs and the Latvians – this is the ground that we give our whole heart to. In the 101st year of the success-story of this country the Livonian language resounds again. This is a signal, a hope for the future that this is the moment when tomorrow is born – the evolution of two miraculous cultures merging. Let the Liv and Lett Live!\u201d Julg\u012b Stalte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
