For singer Linda Maruta Kronbergs, touring with Čikāgas Piecīšī was her first introduction to her familial homeland of Latvia. Kronberg shares her life and career outside the band in an interview with Eesti Elu’s Vincent Teetsov. In a short concert, Kronbergs revisits her earliest musical memories: traditional folk song. These folk songs, usually sung at social gatherings, are cherished in their adaptation by Latvians and Estonians alike. Helmi and Merike Hess and Roland Campbell will join in and perform the same songs in Estonian.
