The performances of the group create sounscapes that evoke the emotional message of the ancient regional culture \u2013 through log drums and kokle sounds combined with ancient folksong \u2013 dainas \u2013 texts these codes\u00a0 address the refined contemporary listener.\u00a0 But in this combination also other World Music elements find their place \u2013 African, Indian rythms, meditative and expressive sounds of gongs, Irish drums and many other unusual percussion instruments, as well as more contemporary popular musical influences.To enforce this time-traveling feeling and to add more dramatic as well as funny accents, the full concert version of the group includes also Latvian fairytales told by storyteller Inita \u0160alkovska. Storytelling is a genre, where the storyteller not only recites a learned text, but relives the told experience in close contact with the audience.They call their musical style Music of Latvian World. <\/p>
