DJ Ella celebrates the capital’s 824th birthday with the new single “Rīga gavilē”

Rīga is celebrating – and so is the music! In honor of Rīga’s 824th anniversary, DJ Ella presents her listeners with a new single “Rīga gavilē” – a bright and energetic track that embodies the festive mood, pride for Rīga, and its unique energy.

The song is not a random creation – it has a special history. More than ten years ago, “Rīga gavilē” was created in collaboration with the DJ duo Flying Mice (Nick Ustinov and DJ Rise). At that time, it was never officially released, but it became a true nightlife phenomenon, playing in clubs and parties all over the city, and turning into a beloved melody for those who love the city, rhythm, and freedom.

Now this track returns in a new, modern version, becoming a symbolic bridge between the past and the present.

The music video was filmed in one of Rīga’s architectural treasures – the Benjamins’ House. It also features the exquisite Alberta Street, the pride of Rīga’s Art Nouveau. The dance choreography was created by “Deja.Today”, bringing modern energy, breath, and dynamics to the clip. The video was directed by Didzis Stārastiņš, costumes were provided by “Amoralle” and Līga Banga, while makeup and hair were done by “Unastyle”.

“It seems that we are both back in Latvia with grand plans. Our first collaboration flowed wonderfully with mutual understanding and a great team, and we couldn’t have wished for a better location than the Benjamins’ House, whose history fit perfectly into the storyline about Rīga – the city we come from and which will always be in our hearts. Thank you, Ella, for trusting me to direct this new music video, which we are now both celebrating,” says director Didzis Stārastiņš.
