    wow...That intro sounded suuuuper good for a foreigner speaking latvian. Btw if you ever do one of these again i would suggest reacting to a song or two from the latvian song and dance festival. You'll really be able to see the patriotism in latvian culture if you react to those songs. just ask URXUNICORN to pick some good songs out if you do another American REACTS // Latvian Music. I trust her taste.

    • @BrianVelez
      @BrianVelez  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you !!! I really love Latvia, and am constantly trying to have her teach me more! Definitely! Hopefully if I get the opportunity to work on a second part of Latvian music I could have her suggest a couple more! Which ones would you recommend???

    • @filltheblank2466
      @filltheblank2466 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I would definitely say:
      1.Zigmara Liepiņa un Māras Zālītes fragments no rokoperas Lāčplēsis;
      2.Piena ceļš
      3.Saule, Pērkons, Daugava
      All three are great and i can't really choose between them...Oh and they should be from the 2018 ( XXVI ) song and dance festival ( Dziesmu un deju svētki ).
      But then again these videos on Latvia don't really seem to get that many views sooooooo...I would get you not reacting to these.

    That song from Livi with the title "Mother's language" was recorded at 1987.probably, and that logo with V and rainbow was a music TV show at that time on central TV. Music videos at that time was something new- and those were filmed usually by the same TV which showed the shot. This was a really brave song at that Soviet occupation period...and made a big impact when there was referendum voting for official Language of Latvian SSR. So this was really big. By the way, singer for this song wasn't typical frontman and usually, he was performing a couple of songs in concerts. Moustache in 70-ties and 80-ties were popular.

    i don't know much but in the second song (dzimtā valoda by līvi) in the scene with the fire thing and flowers around it, it is a national graveland monument, where around 2000 soldiers were burried, you can find more info by looking up "Rīgas brāļu kapi."
    the song itself is about how the mother of latvian people is their national language. essentially if we have nothing else left of our country, we still have our language. and the song serves as a kind of an reminder of that fact.
    i don't exactly consider myself patriotic anymore, haven't for several years now (haven't had much of a reason to do so, don't ask pls). but regardless of that i still agree with the songs sentiment as i do like my national language (i only really like our language and mythology).

    Nice! & interesting and thank you for the video!
    I'm Estonian so it's interesting to hear Latvian music. I liked it a lot!
    "Riga Haute Couture" - didn't understand the words, but the rhythm or something made me listen...
    Livi "Dzimta valoda" was great, great voice!
    And the song "Maybe" - when it came I was like "this song, really? it can't be! oh, it IS this song, I love it!!" (for some readson I wasn't sure it was Latvian, but it is Latvian:)).
    I personally didn't like much the last song (rap is not my kind of music anyways, so...).
    Brian, perhaps you could do someday also Lithuanian music as well?:D I mean really. (and then the next country, and then the next...:D)
    I've been to Lithuania once and for some reason I kind of fell in love with Lithuanian language, although I don't understand it. Oh, "ačiū" (aachu) is "thank you", that much I know (just had to look how it was spelled). I remember a couple of times searching for Lithuanian music on the internet. But, yes, I understand it's only my persional fascination.
    All in all: great videos, Brian! You are awesome and I love your sincerity:)

      Thank you so much for your kind words and trust me, I have planned to cover all of Europe! But I definitely have to cover Lithuania. I wouldn’t be fair if I moved from the Baltic states, without giving them a episode. Thank you so much for the advice! You rock!

    Lyrics for Tā daļa Rīgas (That part of Riga)
    I know many are feared
    And many feel pain for my suburb,
    walking down the Moscow street pavement
    becomes cold.
    It is hard for strangers to understand
    What in these streets
    for someone can
    close and cozy ever be
    Too many past
    and bitter truth is here,
    and fifteenth trolley is already a legendary
    Children sitting next to church which are throwing stones
    and at bus stop guys drink beer among dogs
    That part of Riga
    That part of my Riga,
    Complicated not completely familiar
    That part of Riga
    That part of my Riga,
    Complicated
    Around we blindly see only rubbish
    between rubbish shines forth a city which is still growing
    Undo your eyes and see
    It is not as it was ten years ago anymore
    x2:
    That part of Riga
    That part of my Riga,
    Complicated not completely familiar
    That part of Riga
    That part of my Riga,
    Complicated....
    x2:
    To grow and prosper
    Appear in a different light
    Always changing
    Fill with a new thoughts
    No, no I don't need another Riga
    I'm here in my own society
    No, no I don't ask for other Riga
    Part of this Riga is part of me
    Walking by the banks of [river] Daugava and shouting opens the heart
    The same way as in church it feels so free
    We blindly seeing only rubbish around us
    forget that city for us is always growing

Check some of those and some good ''lions'' like Intars Busulis, Igo Fomins, Ainars Mielavs, Zigfrids Muktupavels...uff..toooooo many to name. (about Brainstorm comparison to the Maroon 5, you are right, however, Brainstorm appeared way before Maroon 5, so they should be compared the other way around ;-))
