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! :)

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

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

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

[tyrklane]

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

[yumagetbullet]

maybe Latvia and Estonia borrowed tradition from lithuania. because Lithuania is much older nation than Latvia and Estonia. Lithuanian history is much greater than Latvia and Estonia.

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 :)
