Tickets are hard to come by for those big events at Daugava stadium and Mažaparks open air stage but its definitely worth it. During the week there’s around 60 events of which 2/3 are free of charge.

I first heard Latvian singers at an event in , Scotland; it was the "Reconciliation Through Music" that is held in alternate years in Dresden and Coventry. The rich sound of the Latvian Bass voices were right behind me(I was an envious tenor). I was so impressed. My best to you all.

​@Glagoliti I quite disagree with you, my friend. As a Russian who has to move to Latvia I can say that you can become Latvian if you truly wish for it. Learn the language, learn the traditions, and nothing is going to be destroyed. I'm living here for almost 5 years and I fell in love with Latvian culture right away. But for such a long time I was afraid of buying national Latvian costume for myself - I just felt like this is wrong. And you know what? All Latvians I told about my fear were so nice about my wish. Latvians really like when you appreciate their culture and they are super supportive about this. You don't need to be Latvian to be fascinated by their culture, to love their culture and to want to become a part of their culture. Everything you need is time and motivation to learn. That's all.

@Orion Lord it is kinda huge, yes, but Russian culture is... undefined, let's say. Latvians were isolated from others for a long time which helped them to save their culture. Meanwhile Russian (or may I say old Russian) culture is kinda lost. There's nothing similar to Latvians celebrations in Russia. No one was interested in collection info about Russian culture - and Russians kinda didn't need that to begin with. Latvian culture is something that helped to save Latvian nation - remember Alexander the Third who wanted to russify (?) all nations living in the Russian Empire. And Russians... already were Russian? They were never discriminated because they't just Russian. What I would like to say - Russians totally don't have culture like Latvian. Different - yes, quite different, but not so authentic with songs and dances.

I really wish this year, 2022, were a festival year and that it were possible to bring the festival forward to, say, the early summer (when I expect Ukraine to win Eurovision) if not sooner. The symbolic potential would be enormous. Long live the Baltic states and slava Ukraini.

@@Marco-bf4uu That's factually incorrect. "White" is just slang for "European". The reason European's don't use it as much is because they have been ethnically homogenous much longer than America.... and some still are. Of course you wouldn't use a word like "White"..... because there's ONLY White people there. Terms like these are more commonly used in Ethnically diverse places to easily identify a persons origins. But you are wrong also on a genetic level. Genetically, ALL Europeans are basically the same. They're a mix of 3 major Ancient groups; Yamnaya, Western Hunter gatherers, and Neolithic Farmers. And all their cultures are interconnected and have a common source(Indo-Europeans). So using a term like "Whiite" is appropriate. Don't say dumb ignorant stuff like, "There's no Whiite race", when you don't know anything about Genetics, History or Anthropology.
