Product Description

Imants Kalniņš, a prominent figure in Latvian music, invites you to explore his 1979 release, "Dzeguzes Balss," a captivating collection of eight tracks that blend folk and pop elements seamlessly. The album, released under Baltic Records Group, spans a concise yet impactful 36 minutes, offering a glimpse into Kalniņš' unique musical vision.

Opening with the whimsical "Dziesmiņa, dziedama pučetros no rīta," the album sets a playful tone that continues with the lively "Viņi dejoja vienu vasaru." The title track, "Dzeguzes balss," showcases Kalniņš' ability to weave traditional Latvian themes into contemporary compositions. The melancholic "Septiņas skumjas zvaigznes" and the pleading "Piedod, piedod, piedod man!" highlight the emotional depth of his songwriting.

"Dziesma par Floridas smiltīm" offers a change of pace, infusing a sense of warmth and nostalgia, while "Dziesmiņa par to gadījumu ar Džordāno Bruno" adds a touch of humor and storytelling. The album concludes with "Raganas dziesmiņa pēc sprieduma pasludināšanas," leaving listeners with a sense of closure and satisfaction.

"Dzeguzes Balss" is a testament to Imants Kalniņš' enduring influence on Latvian music, blending cultural heritage with innovative pop sensibilities. This album is a perfect introduction to his work for those new to his music and a delightful revisit for longtime fans.

This is a 1981 Repress released as a LP.

Slavic Prog and Psych Fusion
3 out of 5 stars
T.L.Fik22 June 2025United States🇺🇸
Blending Slavic Prog and Psych with a touch of accessible pop and folk rock. Certain vocal lines carry a sort of medieval vibe. Then there's the closer of Side A, "Septiņas Skumjas Zvaigznes," which is a whole different beast. It's a foreboding lament that feels like a mix of Magma and a tune that didn't make the cut for some obscure Jesus Rock stage production.

Blending Slavic Prog and Psych with a touch of laid-back pop and folk rock. Certain vocal tunes carry a medieval vibe. The track that wraps up Side A, 'Septiņas Skumjas Zvaigznes,' stands apart. It's a foreboding lament that feels like a fusion of Magma and a tune discarded from a Jesus Rock Musical in the off-off broadway scene.
