Also this compilation presented by radio station NABA gives insight into many genres of Latvian contemporary music.

But this the time the idea that unites the CD is a rough, angry and sociocritical verse by Latvian poet Eduards Veidenbaums (1867-1892).

This compilation proves that it is possible to get inspiration in the verse that’s been written for more than 100 years ago and still create modern and meaningful music.
