“Converge” will play a show in Riga, club Melna Piektdiena

Hardcore music heavyweights Converge will play a show in Riga, club Melna piektdiena on Tuesday, June 18th. They will be supported by finnish grindcore band Rotten sound.

Metal and hardcore music scene’s most established and innovative band – Converge – will be coming to Riga on their European tour, performing at club ‘Melnā Piektdiena’ on June 18. The band was founded in 1990 and plays a blend of metal and hardcore with elements from metalcore and mathcore and currently they’re considered to be one of the most original bands to emerge from the punk underground scene. Their latest album ‘All We Love We Leave Behind’, that was released on October 8th 2012, is their most integral album that's celebrated by countless fans of punk, metal and hardcore. For the first time in years, ‘All We Love We Leave Behind‘ is an album that contains no special guests or outside collaborators, so every aspect of the music production and aesthetics of the album was handled by Converge in order to give listeners an unfiltered glimpse into the creative vision of these Boston-based innovators.

"There are no artificial effects on this album, it's all organic, it’s real sounds that capture the way the band performs live," explains Converge’s guitarist Kurt Ballou. Converge has been credited with giving rise to a genre and influencing countless bands all over the world as they have always been the type of band that never fit into one subculture, creating a sound that is entirely their own. The group's musical style consists of complex guitar work and polyrhythmic drumming, as well as frequent use of unorthodox time signatures.

Since their landmark album ‘Jane Doe’ in 2001, they haven't had any member changes and maintain the unwavering individualism and uncompromising artistic vision they had when they formed over 23 years ago. When asked how Converge have managed to develop their own personality, Ballou explains that that’s because it's been the same four people for a long time and that they don’t listen to much music outside of what they have recorded so they are more influenced by themselves than what's currently happening in the scene.

The Finnish grindcore act Rotten Sound, which is set to open for “Converge”, celebrates their 20th anniversary this year.

Melna Piektdiena is located in Riga, Brivibas iela 193c. Doors will be open at 19:00, tickets are available on www.bilesuserviss.lv, www.bilietupasaulis.lt and www.bileti.by

DOUBLE-CONCERT
Medeski Martin & Wood /USA/
Butterscotch /ASV/

In a double-concert of festival „Rigas Ritmi 2013” – avant-garde jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood and a brand new talent of beatbox - Butterscotch!

Within the festival „Rigas Ritmi 2013” on July 5th in the Riga Congress Center a two-piece concert* - innovative and experimental trio Medeski Martin & Wood and beatbox champion Butterscotch from USA!

Medeski Martin & Wood effortlessly straddles the gap between avant-garde improvisation and accessible groove-based jazz. Emerging out of the New York downtown scene in the early '90s, they soon set out on endless cross-country tours before returning home to Manhattan to further refine their sound through myriad influential experimentations.

Though they started out with a more-or-less straightforward piano-bass-drums jazz setup, the threesome expanded their sound with unusual configurations. Medeski added electric piano (outfitted with distortion pedals and other effects), and began switching back and forth among Hammond organ, Clavinet, Mellotron and other keys. Wood alternated between stand-up and bass guitar, stuck paper behind his strings for a “snare” effect and occasionally employed a drumstick as a slide.

Though the “jazz spirit,” as they like to call it, has been ever-present in their sonic voyages, Medeski Martin & Wood have won over a substantial audience that rarely responds to instrumental music - their club and festival appearances are packed with alternative-rock lovers as well as jam-band aficionados and jazz heads.

Butterscotch is a singer/songwriter/musician who incorporates beatboxing into her compositions with instruments she plays, including the piano, flute, saxophone, bass and guitar.

Antoinette Clinton's stage name „Butterscotch” originated from a song she wrote about candy in high school. She is heavily influenced by jazz, classical, hip hop and R&B artists ranging from Frederic Chopin to John Coltrane to Stevie Wonder.

Butterscotch is an internationally recognized as a vocal artist from her appearance on NBC's "America's Got Talent" as a finalist. She amazed the crowd singing, playing the piano and beatboxing. Prior to America’s Got Talent, Butterscotch claimed titles as both the first International World Female Beatbox Champion and the West Coast Beatbox Champion for both genders.

Vocalist and pianist Diane Schuur is brilliant and eclectic. Her musical style has developed thanks to Dinah Washington and many other legendary jazz artists from ninety forties and fifties.

Her musical career spans nearly three decades and explores nearly every corner of the 20th century American musical landscape. Diane Schuur embraces not only the jazz artists of her parents generation but also - pop music of her youth in the late fifties and sixties.

During her career Schuur has recorded over twenty music albums, many compositions have been in the highest positions in Billboard, Billboard Jazz and Contemporary Jazz charts. She is also a Grammy award winner for the best albums.

Schuur’s voice is, to put it very mildly, beautiful. She has a vocal range that can deliver low, grumbly laments and high, crooning wails with equal effectiveness, and wonderful vibrato, - CMJ

Laima Jansone is one of the most talented kokle players in Latvia. Kokle is one of the most ancient Latvian ethnographic music instruments. It is an interaction between the meditative and the impulsive, the ancient and the modern sounds. Besides that an improvisation is very important aspect of her play. In the festival „Rigas Ritmi 2012” Laima performed together with Latvian jazz musicians – Artis Orubs and Andris Grunte. Journal All about Jazz called this project the find of the festival which is a great example of unique combination of the traditional kokle and contemporary jazz.

ARTISSIMO festival!
ANA MOURA - fado diva (Portugal) and her ensemble
Legendary musicians
Monday, 2013 July 15th, 7 PM
Dzintari Concerthll

A voice always inhabited by the spirit of fado, this music full of spirituality which is not less physical and from where burst out nuances of the more intimate feelings which only require to be set free and sung. Delightful.
There is no other voice in Fado quite like Ana Moura. A voice that strolls freely through tradition but flirts elegantly with pop music, broadening the spectrum of Fado, so typical of Lisbon, in a very personal way. But what sets her apart is not only the low-pitched and sensual tone, so unique – Ana Moura instantaneously transforms any melody to which she lends her voice, into Fado. It’s an immediate spark, an emotional explosion aimed ruthlessly to the listener’s heart.

In this role he performed for underprivileged children in Uganda, Thailand and the Balkans, and helped raise funds for many UNICEF assisted programs. Maxim is a patron of the MIGDAL Project in Northern Israel designed to give disadvantaged children a chance to learn how to play an instrument and to improvise in classical and ethnic styles, harnessing the healing power of music and promoting humanitarian and cultural values. He is also a patron of the MIAGI project in South Africa, which connects children of different ethnic backgrounds through music. Since 2007 Maestro has been an Ambassador for Zegna & Music project, which was founded by the luxury men’s clothing label Ermenegildo Zegna in 1997 as a philanthropic activity to promote classical music.
Maestro Vengerov has been profiled in a series of documentaries, including Playing by Heart, which was recorded by Channel Four Television and screened at the Cannes Television Festival in 1999, and Living the Dream, which was released worldwide and received the Gramophone Award for Best Documentary 2008.

У певца миллионы поклонников, билеты на его выступления раскупаются с невероятной скоростью, и тому есть множество причин.

THE LOVELY REGINA SPEKTOR WILL PERFORM AT PALLADIUM RIGA

On August 5th the Palladium concert hall will host the world famous U.S. American singer-songwriter and pianist Regina Spektor. Tickets are available from Wednesday, June 12 starting from LVL 24 at Biļešu Serviss box offices and www.bilesuserviss.lv. Table seats – LVL 50.

Only on Tuesday, June 11, all Palladium and Positivus registered users can purchase tickets for the special price of LVL 19*.

Regina Spektor (born Regina Ilyinichna Spektor) is considered to be one of the most prominent performers of the alternative and anti-folk genre. Often described as the musical heiress of Tory Amos and Kate Bush, Spektor creates her emotionally enticing and captivating ballads by combining the elements of pop, jazz, punk, classical music, hip hop as well as Russian an American folk music.

Spektor’s vibrant piano masterpieces, including her most popular tracks “Fidelity”, “Samson”, “Eet” and many more have rightfully earned her both top chart positions as well as legions of devoted fans. Each unique song entails fractions of Eastern traditions mixed with both modern and classical Western music rhythms. Reviewing her latest album “What We Saw from the Cheap Seats” (2012) Rolling Stone magazine suggests that it may be Spektor’s best work yet. Describing her music as “Spiking piano-driven songs of heartbreak with comic turns of phrase, cartoon voices and beatboxing outbursts”, the magazine labels Spektor as “her generation's Joni Mitchell – a singer-songwriter who nail-guns emotional truths between wisecracks.”

Born in Moscow, Soviet Union, in 1980 to a musical Russian Jewish family, Spektor and her family eventually immigrated to New York at the end of the 80’s. After graduating from the Conservatory of Music, Spektor’s classical music interest incorporated elements of hip hop, rock and punk. Following her first self-released records and numerous performances, Spektor’s breakthrough came after supporting The Strokes on their 2003 tour. She was then invited to feature as an opening act for Kings of Leon and Keane.

After several sold-out performances, Spektor’s third record “Soviet Kitch” (2004) was already released through Sire Records. With tens of thousands of album copies sold worldwide, the catchy tunes from her records have been featured in numerous commercials, movies and television series, including “Grey’s Anatomy”, “How I Met Your Mother”, “My Sisters Keeper”, “Love and Other Drugs” etc. Not only has Spektor performed at the biggest international music festivals, but also made numerous appearances on the biggest U.S. talk shows, performed at the White House Christmas ball (to standing ovations) as well as countless charity shows.
