Drum and bagpipe group Auļi and ethno music group Tautumeitas have joined forces to create a unique music album „Lai māsiņa rotājās”. Album’s theme is dedicated to a very important period of person’s life – engagement and wedding. The powerful sounds of Auļi’s bagpipes and drums represent masculinity, whilst Tautumeitas softer sound but still expressive multipart singing represent femininity. Just as newly weds need to learn how to live together after the wedding, Auļi and Tautumeitas search for ways in which to respect and compliment each other on their musical journey

The Latvian bagpipe and drum music group “Auļi” was founded in 2003. The group that consists of six bagpipers, three drummers and one bass player, creates unique sounds by mixing ancient and modern elements.

Musicians themselves have named their music style etnotranss (ethnic trance).
