Riga, not the first place that springs to mind when you think about an interesting music scene. We beg to differ. Latvia’s capital is booming. The city bursts with music, art and culture. Because it’s not exactly around the corner, six very diverse Latvian acts will come to P60 on July 12th, for an evening of high quality Baltic music.

Ever since the former Soviet-Union lost its grip on Latvia (as well as Estonia and Lithuania), the seaside town of Riga has blossomed. The renewed independence in 1991 incited the capital city to acquire its very own distinct identity, which resulted in a considerable diversity of musical genres. Six acts will show their skills and uniquely Latvian sound at Out In Riga.

Guitarist Reinis Jaunais puts the emphasis on complete control over his instrument with his experimental jazz-rock fusion. Singer Imants Daksis, known and loved for his poetic and philosophic lyrics, has over the years become a big name in his country. At age 25, his catalogue already spans an impressive twelve albums and over three hundred songs. A more than excellent representative of Riga’s music scene. Indie band Gaujarts have taken it slightly slower. The five-piece released their sophomore album last year. Their catchy acoustic sounds have brought them major popularity back home.

Does Riga also get loud, you ask? The answer is an outspoken ‘yes’. Contrary to the former bands, Mango’s music is entirely in English. The brass section and fresh new EP of this ska-punk outfit will get any party started. Art-rock band Mona de Bo’s avant-garde repertoire guarantees the night is artistically correct and electro-duo Kodek represents the electronic scene, with their lo-fi breakcore.

In the spirit of broadening your horizon, P60 organizes an evening packed with surprising and diverse music from Riga.

Ticket’s are available at the P60 website (p60.nl), all Primera stores and Ben’s Corner.
