The Baltic tribes were the last in Europe to be converted to Christianity, and indeed there is still quite a big pagan influence passed on from ancient traditions. It is not as common to see it in everyday life anymore due to globalization, but through traditions and special celebrations a strong bond with nature is still maintained. As you already touched upon in the translated description on the video, this song is praising Oak trees. They are a symbol of masculinity and hold a very special meaning in Latvian/Baltic folklore.
This was a nice video :) The song is a midsummer solstice song. Traditionally people wear flower and oak leaf crowns on midsummer. We light boniferes and stay awake all night. Folk groups in the video are wearing traditional folk costumes. Two are from later centuries, like 13, 14. Others typical for various regions in Latvia from ~ 18/19 century. The song basically says that we come together to celebrate midsummer and honor god Jānis.
Thanks for the info. I really like the music
Well now I want to go go to Latvia and collect my oak-leaf afro and sing to the oak trees with a bunch of musicians in costume
Just discovered the song myself. I love the different traditional costumes that probably come from different time periods.
They come from different parts of Latvia. Also, they could change depending on how poor or rich the person was.
They mostly come from different regions of latvia. Oh fun fact this song is not sung entirely in latvian but in two languages, the second is latgalian which is my native language in the region latgale, it is in the part where people ar mostly with the blue clothes, you can hear as they pronounce the repeating phrase "Līgo" differently.
My next door neighbor was from Latvia. I did not learn much about her culture at the time but learned that her husband Ervalds (Eric) was a forester before the nazis arrived. I went to her husband's funeral. It was a Lutheran funeral. My neighbor told me "We don't have funerals like this in Latvia. I did not know what she meant until I first heard Latvian music.
Hi! The artists all are from Latvia. They are singing in Latvian and Latvian Latgalian dialect. They are wearing different outfits representing different regions of country and different centuries, from ancient to modern era.
I Love your reaction, cheers from Latvia
My guy, spot on! I'm glad you're showing interest in my country/culture!
Btw your pronunciation is really good!
Love from LV 🇱🇻
i'm a latvian, we latvians love to sing and dance.
I have a Latvian friend who sings and plays instruments. I guess it's in the culture then.
Madara, Liels Paldies par tavu atbalstu muusu Latvieschu Folk Muzik!!!!!
@@teddyneptunereacts0396 In Soviet union Latvia was the best audio system manufacturer
@@Rblock777 Oh, I didn't know that.
People singing are in folk costumes from different periods of time and different regions. Guys playing instruments have a bit more modernised version of a folk costume.
It sounds by like they are singing with different accents from around the country too
This is hynm sung in a summer solstice celebration.
Paldies! Indeed Magical! Latvian music makes my soul soar! ❤🔥 The drum is a hollowed Oak tree. The outfits are representative of different tribes. In 1200 the Latvian tribal areas were Latgalian, Curonian, Semigallian, Selonian, and Livonian. Our history is extraordinarily complex!
You are awesome, I love your reactions.
Your pronunciation was good! Great reaction!
Thanks!
React to Latvias song and dance festival. It is amazing.
Theyre Cold vainagi
I love folk music from the Baltic nations
Me too, although I'm still finding out about it.
@@teddyneptunereacts0396 one of my favourite albums is called Zobena Dziesma (Sword Songs) by Skyforger. Usually a folk metal band, they released an album of purely folk warrior songs sponsored by the government.
They have played with Auli too
@@brendo9672 I will check it out. Thanks
@@teddyneptunereacts0396 not really reaction worthy, just a good album to listen to.
I love your energy
Fun fact: The person who recommended this to you has "Firstname Lastname" in Latvian as his account name. Looked like anonymization to me for a bit there xD
Haha, I didn't even know that :)

Well, you know i usually like Folk, but this one is not for me.
Oh, I'm surprised, to be honest. I thought you might like it too. Is it too happy or is it because there is no adventure or action like in some Heilung or Wardruna songs?
@@teddyneptunereacts0396 i just dont like their sound and style of how they put their music together. It does not yound good to me. But one can not like every band :D
@@Runic-Raven True. I'm going to upload my reaction to something you defintely like the coming week.
@@teddyneptunereacts0396 Im very much looking forward to it! Till then, be careful out there.
@@Runic-Raven You too
