The latest release in the Sviests series, entitled Sviests 6 (Lauska CD057), has been released. A bi-yearly event, the Sviests series is a collection of recent recordings inspired by Latvian folk songs and music.
As with previous releases, there is a great diversity of material, from traditional interpretations of folk songs, to modern performances inspired by Latvian folklore. The album features tracks by both veteran artists as well as newcomers to the Latvian ethno-music scene. From the folk metal of Symbolic, to the French and bluegrass inspired music of Black Diamonds, to the jazz improvisation of Amorālā psihoze, Sviests 6 shows the broad range of music influenced by Latvian folk songs.
The CD booklet includes notes on each song in both Latvian and English.
