Kaligo - "Pērkons veda Saules meitu"

Kaligo is a Latvian post-folk band formed in 2023. The band's repertoire includes Latvian folk songs, world music, as well as original music inspired by folklore. Its members are Diāna Logina (vocals, various instruments), Marita Karpa (accordion), Edijs Ostapko (guitar), Kārlis Bērziņs (keyboards), Jānis Narbuts (bass guitar), Kristaps Karps (drums, percussion, vocals). Kaligo musicians are inspired by elements of different genres in their music, creating eclectic and creative arrangements and original songs, combining the moods of heavy and pop-music with folk songs and lirycs. 

The song “Pērkons veda Saules meitu” (Thunder Gave the Daughter of the Sun) is a composition saturated with power drawn from the folk lirycs. Its text is based on two Latvian dainas in which the Sun says goodbye to her daughter, who must go with Thunder. With the help of music, we have clothed this text in a mood in which the struggle against sad, frightening and inevitable fate is felt. Undeniably, the song encodes Latvian ability to go forward stubbornly and with your head raised, even in the most difficult circumstances," says Diana Logina, the vocalist of the group.
