Imagine Chat Baker playing chess with Nick Drake somewhere down in Eastern Europe? Imagine someone with passion and a great talent to come from a country you perhaps have never even heard about? In a years time since debut in his home country, GORAN GORA (23), a Latvian singer-songwriter, has already performed in Stockholm, Sweden; London, UK; and at the SXSW Music Conference in Austin, Texas, USA.
In August 2005 Goran Gora played his first international show at the Baltic Sea Festival in Stockholm, Sweden. Following the success of his first radio single Slow Down in October 2005 Goran Gora had a few sold out gigs in small venues in Latvia, some of them with a special guest Swedish singer-songwriter Thomas Denver Jonsson. In October 2005 Goran Gora also supported the French lounge stars Nouvelle Vague in Riga, Latvia. Gorans second radio single Fools In Love was released in November 2005 by acclamation both by music critics and fans. On December 18 Goran Gora gave an one-off sold-out performance with a string quartet in front of 550 people at the oldest and most extravagant cinema house in Riga. The year 2006 came with the invitation for Goran to perform at the SXSW Music Conference in Austin, Texas, in March.
Fresh from the SXSW experience Goran went to London and Stockholm for some club gigs. In the meantime Goran Goras first 7 EP 2 Hands/4 Songs came out, now available at www.roughtrade.com, www.normanrecords.com and www.tamizdat.org. Back home Goran began to summarize his impressions so far, which resulted in a number of great new songs. On July 6, 2006, Goran Gora supportted the Norvegian duo Kings Of Convenience in Riga, Latvia.
Goran Gora spent most of the second half of 2006 recording his debut album Jetlag - out now. You can buy the album from the best music retailers in Latvia and at www.roughtrade.com.

Hey Goran, thanks for the add. We talked together at the Europavox festival, I was very pleased to meet you. What a nice music!! Please come and sing to Paris!
Labu vakaru!
Gribu vien teikt, ka tā "Poor Maria" ir trakoti aizkustinošs, sirdi plosošs, iedvesmojošs gabals. Sirsnīgs un kaislību pilns kā čigāna dvēsele.
Paldies par skaistiem mirkļiem.
Veiksmes nākotnē!

Albūma prezentācija bija lieliska:)
nemaz skumja,kā tev pašam likās!
Patiešām bija jauki,arī albūms ir patiesi izdevies !!!
Dziesmas ir jautras un pat uzmundrinošas.Manuprāt "two hands" ir pat ļoti skaista dziesma. "swim-robert-swim" mēdzu klausīties daudzas jo daudzas reizes pēc kārtas :)
laikam tāpēc,ka dod iedvesmu radīt savus gara darbus :)
tikai ļoti,ļooooti žēl,ka albūmā nav "slow down"
Lai tev veicas arī turpmāk.
With chocolate eggs flying through the air and some of the delicious sweet stuff around the mouth, it's easy to enjoy Easter if you're Easter Bunny.. ;)))))))))
Cheers!
Iepriekšējā nedēļa aizritēja Jetlag skaņās. Tavs albūms veicina pavasara dulluma efektu!Saasinās mirkļa burvības uztveršanas spējas un jaunākais atklājums ir taureņu sajūta vēderā...:)Paldies!
Directors cut bija ļoti interesanti!
Tonight I listened to all Your songs once more, this time very closely and I can say that You are my best musical discovery since last summer.
Very impressive, simple and beautiful music :)
Šovakar ir kā vecajos labajos laikos -ripa tiek izņemta, lēni, mierīgi ielikta cd atskaņotājā, kad ķermenis jau ir ieritinājies mīkstajos dīvāna spilvenos, tiek spiesta play poga un..
Bet vispār, ar jaunu albūmu komplektā nāk garāka koncertu sērija...vai ne?
