Dzintars: The Latvian Women’s Choir: “Where Have You Been, Brother?” (1983)
Another beautiful piece of Latvian choral music from the 76-member choir whose 1983 album was produced by Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead.

Dzintars: The Latvian Women’s Choir: “Blow, Wind, Blow” (1983)
Here’s a palette cleanser. From an album entitled Songs of Amber, another of Mickey Hart’s World Music projects (“Dzintars” is the Latvian word for “amber”, which is richly symbolic in Latvian culture). This collection of traditional and modern Latvian, Yiddish and Russian songs was recorded during the Dzintar choir’s 1989 US tour, when they were an opening act for AC/DC (kidding).
