Description
The Baltic Sisters are a cross-border folk ensemble uniting four singers from Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. Their shared passion for "Sutartines" -- traditional Lithuanian polyphonic songs -- first brought them together. By chance, the quartet met at the Womex music showcase in Lisbon in 2022, and from there, their journey began.
Their debut album, "Varav / Varti / Vartai" (The Gateway or The Portal), offers a blend of Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian folk songs, sometimes presented individually, sometimes seamlessly interwoven. The result is a soundscape as unique as it is timeless. "Our first album is like a portal into the world of traditional Baltic folk music -- shaped by our personal interpretations. These songs brought us together. We explored each other's musical roots and made them our own," says singer Liene Skrebiska.
