  1. I enjoyed Dziesmu Svetki. Kudos to everyone who made the Hamilton fest a success. Going back to work on Monday will be a downer.
  2. Lots of performers from Latvia, some from Irija. Unlike previous DzSv they were an integral part of DzSv and a key to its success.
  3. Everyone knows that DzSv are a time to reconnect but I ran into more people I haven't met in many years than any other Dz Sv.
  4. The choir and Ceirulitis at the folk dance spectacle was an added bonus. Dancing and almost a concert. Two for one deal.
  5. Lighting at Folk dancing was a bit off, the floor empty at times. I would have put those waiting to dance at ends instead of out of sight.
  6. Folk dance spectacle was a lively way to end DzSv.
  7. Go up John and the Jolly Cut. Then hang a right to Mountain View Park. Great view of Hamilton down below. Toronto 60km across the lake.
  8. I have to say that Hamilton beats Toronto for a DzSv location. As the organizers said, everything is close and the parking is cheap.
  9. The choirs from Latvia wanted to keep singing after the concert. Like they do in Latvia. Song can't be contained in 4 walls to a schedule.
  10. Would have liked to stand during Put vejin instead of Tev muzam dzivot. A song that was our unofficial anthem can never be just a folk song.
  11. Swaying of the choir to Put vejini evoked words of Marju Lauristan in film Singing Revolution - Waves, a human sea that couldn't be stopped.
  12. My favourite choiral piece was Neba maize pate naca. The one where the women's choir from Riga was swaying. The impromtu en core at the end.
  13. Kopkora koncerts - Pleasant but traditional with many familiar works. Got a bit too melancholy. Latvians have a bit too much pathos.
  14. The Song Fest. It's all about volunteers who make it happen and keep the tradition going - participants & organizers alike. Thank you.
  15. There are less than 2 million Latvians in the world but for a small nation its artists, choirs, athletes pack a powerful punch.
  16. Great concert for two choirs from Latvia at the Anglican cathedral. Wouldn't take much to imagine that you were in the Dom Church in Riga.
  17. Dziesmu Svetkos - Latvieši te, latvieši tur, no arzemem, no Latvijas, no Irijas ... Meklesim kopejo, to kas vieno - Dziesma un deja.
  18. Great to run into latviesi from Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, Michigan, Florida, Minnesota, not to mention Latvija and locals at Sidrabene.
  19. I saw them back in 2000 at Brivdabas muzejs in Riga and today at Sidrabene. They're as great as ever. Ceirulitis from Livani rocks!
  20. Saules svetki at Sidrabene was great! Wouldn't mind shifting DzSv to Sidrabene and spending the next four days there.
