As the title suggests, the single also incorporates motifs from the Latvian folk song “Rīga dimd.” With this powerful rhythm, Very Cool People invite everyone to their biggest concert yet, featuring their most popular tracks and collaborations with some of their best friends — Daniels Masi, Paula Saija, Edavārdi, Aija Andrejeva, Ralfs Eilands, Kristīne Prauliņa, Žoržs Siksna, Ozols, and many other outstanding artists.

At the Palladium concert on March 27, audiences will hear both new songs and beloved hits from the band’s ten albums and countless singles. It will be a night full of energy and joy, where funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop, rock, and pure improvisation meet. After years of touring across Europe and countless studio hours, the group is ready to unleash their creative steam once again.
The musicians describe their art simply — a musical party without genre boundaries. And the best way to experience it is live, where every Very Cool People performance promises both top-tier musicianship and an unforgettable time.
