  • 2:35 so heart touching song! (I'm proud to be lithuanian:)

  • ko tikk nesataisa par latwiju =]

  • I'm from Latvia, I like "Song celebration". When standing there whit all people that is incredible filing, thats beautiful songs singing everyone, laud music go through to people hards, they understand what means for us "Song celebration" and that is wonderful.

  • I am from Brazil. I am Latvian descendant of second generation. I would like to know Why this UNESCO movie shows Latvian festivals and nobody explain in english where it was. And IT WAS IN LATVIA. I was there I do have the movies of that Festival. I do not understand why THAT WASN'T CLEAR. And This never was explain in english where this was recorded. Please, can somebody from "UNESCO" that posted this movie explain? Thanks a lot

  • I am from Latvia! :) There was of course videos from the Latvian festivals, but if you look more closely, you can see video excerpts from other Baltic festivals as well. Also people talking is not only from Latvia. So, to my mind everything is OK! :)

  • The tradion in Lithuania though can be seen as borrowed from its nordic nieghbours - Latvia and Estonia. So not sure whether Lithuanian tradition should be included too, than you can include also similar traditions in other nordic countries. Even if they are by half not as old and developed.

  • I did not understand what you wanted to say.

  • There is no "Baltic" tradition of song festivals. So you can't include them on UNESCO's list there are only Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish etc songfestivals. They have to be more specific when they talk about any of these traditions.That's what

  • So - maybe it is the scale of festivals what differs it? You have to look more closely and more specific! Also the age of traditions is very significant!

  • It is about the scale. Once there was one Swedish conductor asked from Eri Klas (world top conductor now) how does he feel of conducting 15 000 people. Eri just said I conduct 35 000 time to time in Estonia :)

  • cant say that - the first song festival in Estonia was held 150 years ago

  • Tradition of Song Festivals comes from Germans. Thats why Latvians And Estonians had it before Lithuanians.

  • @chingishan7 lol wut ? xD youre wrong go read actuall books or speak to historians

  • wrong

    you are bad expert... :)

    but it is good that you are proud of Lithuania :).

  • @senseofmeaning Sorry but Lithuania is older because Latvia was Livonia which was Germanised very much and Estonians are finno ugrians not Balts :)

  • Excellent! Thank you Imants Kalnins for notifying me of this! Tava varda bralis, Imants Akselis.
