The Baltic Sisters
The Baltic Sisters is an international traditional music project born in late 2022 at the WOMEX music fair in Lisbon, where three singers from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania came together. Originally united by their passion for the ancient Lithuanian sutartinės polyphonic songs, their repertoire now also includes Estonian and Latvian traditional music. In their concerts, Baltic Sisters present individual Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian folk songs as well as medleys. The members of the group also hold masterclasses in traditional singing. Baltic Sisters consists of Marion Selgall (6hunesseq, Tallina Naesed) from Estonia, Vineta Romāne (Saucējas, Laiksne) from Latvia and Laurita Peleniūtė (Māros rijos, UDU, Marga muzika) from Lithuania. A fourth Baltic sister, the Latvian singer and kokle player Liene Skrebinska, also occasionally participates in the group’s concerts and recordings.
