Incredible mass singing - Latvian Song festival

[Jurchix22]

[krum1nsh223]

Krievi braucat mājās rusland jūs gaida un nespiediet lūdzu šādām dziesmām dislike pogu:)

[Anndzh]

Daudz laimes, Latvija! :)

[markskise]

@Anndzh Jā skaitai zemei un tās Latviešiem! :)

[Valendal]

@Anndzh Paldies Liels!!

[mazamartina]

Last year there was around 18000 singers from 400 choirs. :) I have participated in 3 Song festivals, its just an amazing feeling.

[lazur1]

10,000 out of 2.2 million. I'm in Chicago, population 2.6 million. I truly doubt we could put together 1/10 of such an impressive event.

[SlazerlentonTV]

19 dislikers maybe it is envious latvian-krievians.

[gumijguuza]

viss jau būtu lieliski, bet nu kā var dziedāt šo dziesmu no notīm, turklāt vēl stāvot pirmajā rindā tik lielā koncerā!

[dubultr]

@gumijguuza kāda starpība no kā dzied ? galvenais ka dzied

[jamesbong123ify]

[PrincesssCandyy]

OMG how badly i miss this, no one can even imagine, I live in the UK now for 3 years well that is not that long, but it is enough to miss everything what is about Latvia my DEAR Latvia, Once i was in this festival as well and now watching this is so hard. you will never see something this strong and amazing in the UK, no one sings here and what they sing is s***. I just wish I could experience this at least one more time. LOVE LATVIA. MĪLU NO VISAS SIRDS ♥

[ivuchs]

Mana mīļā Latvija!!!

[snogger6]

in a world of every increasing homogenization, it's truly beautiful to see people embracing their culture.

[strawila1]

[rishting]

@NotasMusic Rainis poēmu "Daugava" sarakstīja 1. pasaules kara laikā, M. Brauns mūziku, šķiet, Atmodas laikā.

[TheHVBass]

Pietruukst Latvija Irijaa maacos un nedzird udaudz latvieshu dziesmas

[banaaanss]

@BuRninsh

Idiots!

[BuRninsh]

@banaaanss Bomzis

[banaaanss]

@BuRninsh

nu sēdi sēdi sava anglija, piesmakušā dzīvoklītī kopā ar poli un leiti un dusmojies par to, ka esi neveiksminieks. būtu priecājies par to, kas LV skaists un labs, nevis tik žulti izgāzis un trulus pantiņus sacerējis.

[BuRninsh]

@banaaanss Kādā sakarā te Anglija, lauķi ? Labāk priecājies par to, kas vēl pieder tev, jo drīz tavi brāļi Latvieši izpārdos visu tavu mīļo zemi, dāņiem un zviedriem. Laipni lūgti kapitālismā, veiksminiek =)) un simbolus paturi savā tukšajā paurītī, jo tiem sen vairs nav nekādas nozīmes, tikai likumīgas tiesības apvienoties birokrātu čupā un sūkt no strādājošiem visas asinis. /watch?v=xIraCchPDhk

[kaarlis41]

@BuRninsh

Nesalīdzini Latviju ar sevi, vai saviem slinkajiem vecākiem!

[BuRninsh]

@kaarlis41 Tu manus vecākus nepazīsti, lēts neaizvainošanas paņēmiens no tavas puses, bet zini, kas ir pats nožēlojamākais ? Ka manā dzejolīti ir daļa patiesības.

[kaarlis41]

@BuRninsh

Kāda patiesība? :D Viss ir ok , tie kas māk, arī pelna.

Paņēmi 10 kredītus- pats vainīgs..

[GeeZeeCeltics]

@BuRninsh Kad klausies šajā dziesmā, vai tev ir šaubas, ka letiņš tiks cauri visām grūtībām, lai vai kas?

[BuRninsh]

@GeeZeeCeltics Nē nekas nekad nemainīsies, noskaties video youtube '' george carlin doesn't vote'' un tu visu sapratīsi.

[Agarmina]

Mēs to varam....

[LordRudolf]

katru reizi pārņem patriotisma sajūta un asaras saskrien acīs, kad klausos šo dziesmu

[maijuxx]

@LordRudolf tieši tā :))

[LoveeDaisy]

labai grazu!

linkejimai is Lietuvos!

[Utopijaa1]

Wrong valmierietis, not u can see this in Blatic statES but just in one state-Latvia.

[PuhjaHollywood]

Very gorgeous! Best wishes from Estonia!

[Vasiliy2015]

Шпроты укладывайте, ровней

[MrOfflain]

Thats nice that you can keep your spirit up just like us. :)

P.S Greetings from Estonia !

[python238]

@MrOfflain You too Have Good Mass singing songs ... Greetings from Latvia

[festagio]

Could someone tell me the name of this song please I think it's amazing. Also, if anyone could give me any details about the next 'Song festival' in Latvia or Estonia (or Lithuania is they have one too) because I would really like to try and go.

Thanks

P.S. I read up on your story about how your 'Singing Revolution' helped keep your people united through all the tough times, keeping your culture and identity. It was very moving and powerful. Speaking as a Scot I wish I had something like this.

[alkacha1]

@festagio The song is called Saule,Pērkons,Daugava/Sun,Thun­der,Daugava.

The next "Song festival" will be in 2013 and the festival only happens in Latvia.

[festagio]

@alkacha1 Thanks for your help!

[adeliinad]

@festagio Next song festival is in 2013,in Latvia. :)

Hope you could visite Latvia and attend our fest.

P.S. I`m singing there too.

[festagio]

@adeliinad That's cool, I love travelling to different places to experience their culture and I think that food and music are an important part of that. When I saw the video though I thought "I have to go there", it looked epic and when I learnt the story and importance it made me want to go more.

I definitely will be going and haven't been to Latvia so I'm quite excited by that, I'm jealous your singing at it. That will be amazing!

Best Wishes from Scotland and I might see you there! :-(D

[esto94]

@festagio There actually is one this year, 2011, in Estonia as well :) I don't understand why all these people keep saying that only Latvia has these song festivals....?

[temax1992]

@esto94 Damn, didn't know you had it too. Definitely gonna check it out :)

[Reezija]

@esto94 because we have absolutely spammed youtube with it! :) Wonder what would happen if we'd make one giant united Baltics song festival! I think they'd hear us over US! :D

[lokcinjsh]

@festagio So.... This song is "Saule, pērkons, Daugava" And next song festival will be in Latvia and it's always in Latvia,.... Oh, and at 2013. I really recomend to go there... I have sang there once, and that feeling is just incredible... So start to look for airplane ticket to Latvia on 2013, in summer.... I don't know when they will be, but I think you could find it in internet...

[niemandbypapageika]

Wenn so etwas doch nur in Deutschland möglich wäre :-(

[nikkismilesalot1]

@niemandbypapageika Germans destroyed Latvia just like Russians....

[dunorids]

@nikkismilesalot1 and?

[Jackst1995]

truly spectacular.

[Jackst1995]

incredible.

[MuHOTABP911]

latvians are fantastic people. but Latvia can be better, if it's doesn't have such a big notional problem.

[mduckworth]

sveiki, ka klajas, jus runajat angliski, yeeah my latvian rocks

[t2rnus]

beautiful, neighbours :) we are also having a song festival once again this summer ;) i want to re-live this feeling to stand among thoulsands of people and just sing beautiful songs in my mother tongue :) it's so good to see that you latvians also have this magical event!

Greetings from Estonia!

[TheJinguMaster]

13 cilveki nav latviesi

[DazBoot]

Nice... similar to our "Ta lendas mesipuu poole"

Greetings from Estonia!

[upsednieks]

Christianity is the main religion in Latvia.

And 10.000singers sing "Sun is our Mother, Thunder - the devilslayer - is our Father" and a million more is singing with them in their hearts...

Mūsu pagānisms un tautasdziesmu dziedāšana (nevis tikai to esamība) ir tas kāpēc mūsu tauta vēl pastāv... Līgo, Latvija!

[CROteenager]

@upsednieks

actually, just like in Estonia, main religion is lack of religion. most of you are atheists.

[upsednieks]

@CROteenager Well, if you say so. I would rather say that at least unconcious we are pagans - chanting old ritual songs and dancing around fire on summer solstice... the traditions live - it's more important how you live not what you declare as your religion

[Lituae]

@upsednieks I couldn't agree with you more!

[Lituae]

@CROteenager And proud of it. Religion is good for those who need it. As Kant once said, "I inhibited my brain to leave room for religion". Cheers!

[QStopper]

Kruti Tagi :D

[lkrnpk]

It's hard to translate this song for foeigners because it's basically old Latvian pagan mythology and cultural concepts understandabe only to Latvians...

[KruminaAnna]

I live in UK, have had a part of the same festival years and years ago.. but still love thsi feeling of power..

[40bcoots]

Absolutely glorious.

Paldies Latvia.

Greetings from one of yours in Australia.

[Helvucis]

Man pietrukst maju! Esmu ASV macos... bet noteikti braukshu majas! :))) Shi dziesma man vienmer liek raudat!!! :) Lepnums!

[imradtabulous]

@Helvucis, Man ari!!! Reali galiigi zosaaada uzmetaas.

[TPSInternational]

Well done Latvia.

Next time there is one of these, sing "What For? by Aisha! bring home pride to latvia!

[xxman1]

latvija - the best.

[army1961]

One of the best pathriotic Latvian song!

[olex919084]

what a bright ideas are in your head twat! than why you are breaking out with your idiocy..

[olex919084]

@Prisibuvau what a fucking idiot you are.

btw: you got no idea what am I doing here, so keep your fucking comment with you!

[olex919084]

@Prisibuvau

time to time I think Lithanians are stupid..

[RolandsSmoked]

Seezhu Niiderlandee un skumstu peec maajaam. Muusu zeme ir vis forshaakaa.

[PleasurablyNumb]

latvia is great country like lithuania and estonia :)

[Laufeeria]

I don´t understand, but I really like it:)

[immantiat]

@Laufeeria There must be somewhere a translation of this piece. It refers to the River Daugava , the Baltic Sea, the Thunder, the Sun, the Home Land, All this gives the "children" of Latvia their identity for centuries. I think it is not only a masterpiece in musical terms but in its significance.

[Justixass]

Labai gražu.

[pangetuliotsa]

Wow, amazing, Latvia! We love you, we respect you! Hugs from Iganunia (Estonia:)). Welcome to see our song festivals too (in 2011!!!)

[signezelte]

@pangetuliotsa when it will be exactly? i`d like to go :) it will be youth festival? In Tallinn?

[DamnKimPhilby]

This makes me cry every time I see it. 

[styler1338]

Spēcīgi!

[arsenal92]

I don't know do you guys have the unofficial anthem of Latvia? We Estonians do, and in recent years, the Song Festival has grown very popular.. there weren't even enough room for every singers :)

"Mu isamaa on minu arm" was sang by at least 60 000 people - 35 000 on stage and at least 25 000 in public.

[swatfour]

@arsenal92

Put vejini

[ugaboj]

@arsenal92 actually we do have both an official and unofficial anthem

[tirelitis]

@legopoiss that was completely unnecessary

[GoPooper]

@legopoiss you stupid estonian only thing estonians can do is raping their mums.

[GoPooper]

@legopoiss Your an 10 year old kid and a racist .

[juokodebeselis]

Cia kartais ne Latvijos dainu svente? :))) Ten kur priedaini visi garsiai dainavo- ten tai kietai buvo! Net siurpuliukai per kuna perbego! :)))

[turbokurwaagent007]

beautiful music! do not succumb to provocations! Baltic people split fucking Jews. they split Baltic folks Russians Belarusian Latvians Lithuanians, Estonians. Russians Putin's zombie propaganda. Balts zombie western propaganda. We must free ourselves from our oppressors forever!.

[dujuan99]

@turbokurwaagent007 and begoodtoyourdog1

good grief. stick your white pride/ hate propaganda where it belongs, ok? if latvians really all thought and lived like that, i would write off that branch of my family!

[BEGOODTOYOURDOG1]

This is great. WHITE PRIDE WORLD WIDE.

Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, White Countries for EVERYBODY?

[Cuuka]

Šī ir LATVIJAS BALSS!

[EverettZuraw]

This is beautifull, i was born in Latvia but im adopted so I cant speak latvian.

[meernieks]

@EverettZuraw it is never too late to follow the roots you were born with, especially if they are latvian! This is so much more than just a beautiful song!

[bigbrozzer]

Es arī tur dziedāju. Kā šodien atceros to saviļņojumu!!!

[lovemyverybestloving]

It sounds fantastic, the highest peak of emotion to sing as one, to hear the songs that make all hearts shake.

It is impossible not to fell it!

[madaralv]

Latvieshi ir maza, bet varena tauta! Lepojos, ka esmu LATVIETE! Esmu sveshumaa, bet ilgojos peec maajaam un ticu, ka kaadreiz atgrieziishos un mani beerni augs Dzimtenee.. :)

[NESTEAftw]

nu tuos pixelius normals

[danceofthedruids]

Excellent! I was at Riga 800 and Martins Brauns music was played there as well. But this is incredible with 10,000 singers .... thanks for sharing!

[easydmnlv]

@danceofthedruids

Soon it will be with 50,000 singers :)

[swatfour]

@easydmnlv

Ja jau buus 50000 dziedaataaju, tad jau nebuus izlase un katrs aaksts varees tur staaveet :)

[urpersonal911]

@swatfour tāpēc ir skates, lai katrs āksts tur nevarētu stāvēt. :P Neņem korus, kuri nespēj pavilkt tās dziesmas. ;)

[swatfour]

@urpersonal911

Bet jau pie 20000 ir probleema ar alutina lietotaajiem, kas meeginaajumos nav un, tad uzstaajas :) Mani tas nekutina :) Tik daudzi nemaz nav, kas dziedaatu. Lielaakaa dala ir liidzdziedaataaji, nevis stutes

[swatfour]

@urpersonal911

Dirigents Dumins savaa laikaa veidoja statistiku - uz katriem 12 ir vins stabils dziedaataajs

[j45007]

Sounds Great! danm thats alot of people too!

[xnicholasjerryjonas]

Man nav uzrakstīts latviešu valodā tik ilgi. Šī mūzika ir tik skaista. I miss atrašanos Latvija un es nekad neaizmirsīšu manas saknes. Mīlestība no Kanādas.

[Reybarda]

@xnicholasjerryjonas Kādu no saviem atvaļinājumiem var ieplānot.............

[latvietiss]

Tipas skrien pār ķermeni klausoties šo spēcīgo, tradīcijām bagāto dziesmu!

[heidemanis]

amen

[cornersexinfo]

merely like songs from Trans Siberian Orchestra. Elegant and Prestigous!

[evimba]

pāri visam!

[kazhaaa]

@sarumans28 if that is what you hear then you don't get the point of the song

it is about breavary and fighting it is not moaning

[eiokarin]

viena no labākajām dziesmām!

vienmēr nobirst asara un pārskrien tirpiņas

[akmeniskis]

Myliu Rygą, myliu Siguldą, nuostabus Ventspils, Liepaja, Cesis...myliu Tave, Latvija (ir savo Lietuvą labai myliu)

[spragona]

Hearing this song is amazing...the power of the singers, but singing it is even bigger excitement. Trust me...standing there and singing is just...indescribable.

[TheSilga]

esmu gatava nopuņķoties un noraudāties katru reizi, kad šito dzirdu vai dziedu.

absolūts iekšējs satricinājums :)

[Pegazinja]

ideāla dziesma ;)

[archezsss]

Dievs sveti Latviju!

[Surm1337]

Freedom, the most sacred of all virtues. Doesnt matter in what language i hear these songs in, they still bring back memories. Hi from Estonia.

[blondaa880]

Every time I see this, the tears start to run down my cheeks. Overvelming.

[kuldranett]

Age is haerd ,but frind is here.

greetings in estoni.Good song.

Tervitades Kuldranett.

[kaidrian]

well....i just couldn't hold back the tears from the first few sounds on.

this is THE GREATEST THING I've ever seen and heard.

totally touching and emotional, my body is still haunted by one gooseskin after another......

this is so special, thank you so much for this vid and the whole big load of emotion breaking directly into my heart by listening to you all.

i still have tears in my eyes....

[nelabojams]

[zabaks123]

dianap1111 - manuprāt tas jau tā ir kauns latvietim nezināt tādu dziesmu, un vēl pie tam, dziesmas nosaukumu var izlasīt video aprakstā, kreisajā pusē.

[Tinutaja]

Latvians and we Estonians have song festivals every 2/4 years... Do Lithuanians have anything too?

[seogwipo1]

yes, we lithuanians have song festivals (dainų šventė) too. The latter was some weeks ago, even as celebration of millennium of Lithuania 2009.07.06. And yours primeminister A.Ansip was in Vilnius. You can find it on youtube (search: seogwipo1).

[sorryroman]

Yes, we had a song festival recently (Summer 2009)

[MrReactor1]

They have basketball and cheap shops.

We divided influence spheres long ago. Everything is balanced in Baltics :)

[spannerworks1]

Hi

I have just come across a double album LP called Split Song Festival Jubilarni Festival Zabavne glabe 1980 with some very nice pictures on the cover and very nice singing

Can you though any light on this for me?

Richard ;)
