Europe

Bagpipe and drum band Auli was founded in 2003 in Riga, Latvia.

Though there is little left of bagpipe and drum playing traditions in Latvia, both instruments were mentioned in Latvian folklore . Using their own research and experience Auli have developed the this great band using Latvian bagpipes their tunes and possibilities as well as combined this sound with the rhythm and beats of of drums, including one of the biggest tree trunk drums in the Baltics.

Auli's repertoire started out with traditional dance and bagpipe melodies including tunes of other European peoples as well as drum pieces. But soon developed their own melodies and style, not continuing the traditional route, but also not following the well-beaten path of the various medieval bagpipe and drum groups known all over Europe.

Now onto their third album Etnotranss Auli are banging and blowing themselves a storm, a fantastic live show and not only musically but without a doubt visually, we're booking this great live show right now .. ask!
