On this day in 1940, the soviets invaded Latvia and began a reign of terror that caused untold suffering and destruction.

⚫️ 17 June is commemorated as the Day of the Occupation of the Republic of Latvia.

On the morning of 17 June 1940, Soviet troops entered Latvian 🇱🇻 territory. This marked the beginning of the Soviet occupation.

The occupation and annexation carried out by the Soviet Union interrupted the existence of the independent Latvian state for 50 years and caused devastating political, demographic, economic and cultural consequences.

Today, Russia continues to undermine the international rules-based order and violate the Charter of the United Nations by waging a war of aggression against Ukraine.

Russia must be stopped!

As Ukraine fights for its life, it also fights for the Baltic so the deportations and oppression of russian occupation never return. In remembrance of June 14, 1941, please help bring a Ukrainian soldier home alive to their family. $20 buys one tourniquet and saves one life. Please do it every month.

Every day they each do their own work - each in their own folklore expression and each in their own Latvian culture - Livonian and Latgalian. But sometimes they get together, gather friends, and a charge of joy and strength sparkles from the diversity. ✨🌿

“TKP - tā kā pērn” 🎶 [latvian: “as previous year”] was born in the synergy of ethnomusicians Julgī Stalte and Ēriks Zeps in the Latvian heritage camps at the beginning of this century, sounding exactly once a year and “as previous year”. Since 2018, the musicians have managed to get together more regularly - they have visited Latvians in Europe, Siberia and Australia 🌍❄️🦘, created song cycles to dance at the Song Festival Dance concerts and more…

Our songs lull children as they did thousands of years ago 🌙👶, telling stories about their origin from bears 🐻. Our songs sing of love 💛. Our songs are hymns to the Sea 🌊, the forest 🌲, the springs 💧, the swamps 🌾, the fields 🌻, the sun ☀️ and the “that world” 🌌. Our songs are conversations with all life around us 🌿🦋. We are full of joy and that is what our folk music is like – with diverse roots and bright foliage! 🎵🌳
