When times are hard, songs of strength help us; when the heart rejoices, we sing beloved folk songs; and hidden in the dowry chest are playful, even mischievous, tunes. We preserve this heritage of folk traditions and pass it on to the younger generation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 We sing at Solstice and other festive events. We light the fire according to the traditions of our Latvian ancestors \u2014 and always with games and dances, accompanied by the accordion.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Instrumental music is not our strong point, as we rely on our voices.
