    ILGI were born 30 years ago today. We're planning a public party later this year, but just to thank all of our friends we're releasing 2 new, still unpublished songs that were recorded this year. One (Dārgumu trauks) based on the greatest Latvian poet Rainis, the other (Trīs rītiņi saule lēca) based on the great Latvian Dainas (traditional form of poetry) Enjoy!

    Mood: happy happy
