Latvian rock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latvian rock has been an important part of Latvia's music scene since the 1980s, when it was a part of the discontents of Soviet rule.
In 1988, rock opera Lāčplēsis based on the national epic by Zigmars Liepiņš and Māra Zālīte became a national hit.
The city of Liepāja has an especially active rock scene. Līvi, Credo and Remix are from Liepāja, as well as rock composers Imants Kalniņš and Zigmars Liepiņš.
Pērkons, Dzeltenie Pastnieki and NSRD formed the most rebellious part of Latvian rock history.
Inokentijs Mārpls, Baložu Pilni Pagalmi and Sirke are among the most important acts within the alternative scene.
