Latvian indie band Grupa Sigma has returned with powerful second album “Mitoloģijas” (Mythologies) based on lyrics of contemporary Latvian poets. That’s why it would be more appropriate to put the band in the genre of poetry-rock.

“The central idea of the album is humaneness,” says Gatis Zaķis from the acclaimed Latvian band Instrumenti, who have just released their new LP called “Atkala”.

This is a fine jazz recording created by musicians from Latvia, Austria and United Kingdom.

Composer Stanislav Judin and ethno musician Asnate Rancane have recorded one the best contemporary music albums of 2017.

A promising debut EP called “Pai Pai” from young Latvian singer-songwriter Marta Grigale.

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

Compilation “Our Songs 2.0” is one of the grandest events in Latvia of the year 2017.

“Atkala” is a bit different from Instrumenti previous work because the band musically and intellectually have come to the point where content dominates over form, but emotions overcome reason.

Satellites LV have always created serious and smart music – from Britpop in the late 1990s to inventive and joyous electrorock in latest album.

Traditional Latvian folk songs about love and marriage brought to the 21st century – with a somewhat feminist approach.
