Its repertoire consists of Latvian seasonal ritual and lyric songs as well as traditional dance music. The group\u2019s vocal style is firmly rooted in Latvian tradition but Laiksne also allows present day influences to creep in. Songs and melodies come from whole Latvia, slightly more from Latgalia in the East where folklore traditions are well preserved. Also the name of the group comes from Eastern Latvia where \u201claiksne means water lily. Laiksne performs vocal and instrumental folk and post folk compositions. Laiksne\u2019s instrumental compositions utilize several Latvian traditional instruments \u2013 kokles (string instrument), pipes, bagpipes, violin, accordion, mandolin and percussions as well as some modern instruments \u2013 guitar and bass guitar.Laiksne has participated in various festivals in Latvia, Czech Republic, Poland, Belorussia, Slovenia, Russia, Sweden, Estonia and Lithuania. The group has recorded three CDs, Kyukova dzagyuze (Songs of the Cockoo Bird) in 2001, J\u0101\u0146u nakti zelta rasa (Midsummer Night Golden Dew) in 2002 and Es jauna b\u016bdama (Me Being Young) in 2003 as well as participated in several folk music compilations, for instance Sviests (2005) and Sviests 2 (2007). <\/p>
