Singer Ginta Krievkalna says: “In this concert I will perform, in my opinion, the most beautiful songs of Latvian composers, which take me to my childhood summers. Some of these songs literally allow me to recall my mother’s voice and smell, but still others vas I hope that breaking away from the land and being on a “lonely island” will inspire listeners to learn to dream again in spite of everything that has recently “pulled us to the ground” about dreams and memories of the most beautiful summers. ! “

In the performance of Gintas Krievkalns, the concert will include songs “Wrap your hands”, “Acacia sheet”, “Moments of the clock in the tower”, “Do not let mothers grow old”, “Atziedi, soul”, etc.

“The program” Dream on the Road “, which we have created together with Ēriks Upenieks, figuratively speaking, is about floods, water, the coast, our thoughts, which, in spite of everything, fly in the sky… I think this program is ideal for a concert on the island,” admits singer Igo. The singer adds with a smile about his collaboration with guitarist Aivars Hermanis: “We have a three-hour program ready, so we can sing any song anywhere! And even tonight we will not be able to but the audience’s favorite songs” Communal Blues “,” Morning “,” Neighbors ” , “Dances”, etc. “
