In honor of Latvian poet Aspazija’s 150th birthday in 2015, a project to compose new songs with her poetry was initiated by the University of Latvia radio station Naba. The result, a collection of fifteen songs performed by women and groups led by women is called Pretējības, and was published by NABA Music/Melo Records.
Gathering a wide variety of female artists, the eclectic collection features performers like Sus Dungo, Alise Joste, Zāle, among many others. The album art is provided by Alisa Ādamsone.
Radio Naba was founded in 2002 at the University of Latvia as a free format radio station, and can also be streamed online.
