2018


“Menuets” – it is a consciousness that has lived for two centuries and it will continue to live in the hearts of Latvian people for many more. “Menuets” does not only bring nostalgic memories about past times but also shows us that we are living here and now. The band has been successful not only in Latvia but also in many other places of the world, performing in Finland, Portugal, Germany and other countries. During the performances the band gained the trust of thousand fans who connect the songs of “Menuets” with their memories about youth. Melodies we know so well and texts we can sing along to... Especially those who are 40 and above. This will be returning to our youth when we were hippy girls and boys who had fun at house parties and played tuned guitars in our yards, starting and ending every party with the song “Alvas zaldātiņi”.


The Anniversary Concert Programme in Autumn 2018 includes the most beautiful and popular songs of “Menuets” written by the Composer Imants Kalniņš: “Viņi dejoja vienu vasaru”, “Alvas zaldātiņi”, “Dzeguzes balss”, “Balāde par Johanu”, “Dziesma, ar ko tu sācies”, “Četri balti krekli”, “Viņi dejoja vienu vasaru” and others, as well as songs from the early period of the band with authors Adrians Kukuvass, Juris Sējāns and Juris Kulakovs.


The following musicians Inese Pabērza, Adrians Kukuvass, Baiba Jagere, Juris Kulakovs, Juris Sējāns, Leons Sējāns, Raimonds Bartaševics and Ikars Ruņģis still perform in the band “Menuets”. It is interesting to note that Adrians Kukuvass, Raimonds Bartaševičs, Leons Sējāns and Juris Sējāns are the first Honorary Citizens of Jurmala Town.
