Ozoliņi | Latvian Folk Song | Auļi Cover

'Ozoliņi' is a traditional Latvian folk song which praises the oak tree, a powerful and important symbol in Latvian culture. During the summer solstice, men wear huge wreaths of oak upon their head to embody the strength of the oak tree.
A massive thank you to Vilnis, Dainis, and Shivan for lending me your beautiful voices ❤ We managed to put this song together remotely using lots of recordings and emails back and forth.
Another thank you to Dainis for providing the English translation of the song - liels paldies 🙌🌳
Thank you very very much for watching and don't forget to share this with your Vecmāmiņa 💚🌿✨
(to clarify, I am not Latvian nor a native Latvian speaker - everything I've learned has been through my partner's wonderful family, who have kept their culture very alive and well, and I'm so grateful for the impact this has had on me.)
