Tautumeitas
An ethno and pop music group that combines Latvian-folk melodies and lyrics with modern beats, Tautumeitas are proud of being known for creating a strong Latvian sound.The group further expresses itself creatively via the development of their image and the visuals they use; where costumes and crowns reflect how close both traditional and futuristic values are to the musicians. Several members have studied ethnomusicology, so the group's music is often influenced by the folk music of various other countries.
The group's debut album Tautumeitas won the 'Golden Microphone' award for Best Folk/World Music Album of the Year in 2018, while the album Dziesmas no Aulejas won the same award in 2020.
As well as performing in their native Latvia, the group has also taken to stages in China, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, Australia, Germany, France and Poland.
