Celebrating its 28th birthday, Latvijas Radio 2 has prepared a special gift for its listeners – music Internet radio “Vecās plates”, which is already available on the website of Latvijas Radio 2.
The new Latvijas Radio 2 internet radio “Vecās plates” will feature the best performers of the Latvian stage – such as Nora Bumbiere, Margarita Vilcāne, Viktors Lapčenoks, Ojārs Grinbergs, Žoržs Siksna, Uldis Stabulnieks, Aija Kukule, Edgars Liepiņš, Andrejs Lichtenberg, Ingus Pētersons, Imants Skrastiņš and many others. Likewise, the Internet radio “Vecās plates” will also be able to hear instrumental compositions performed by the Latvian Radio big band. In total, “Vecās plates” offers more than 1000 different records.
“A large part of the music of Latvian Radio 2’s linear broadcast is musical values that have passed the test of time – including the so-called Latvian stage. Most of the people of Latvia have heard these songs since early childhood or youth – they are also called “golden songs” in society, and many of them have already become folklore. We are glad that now these time-tested pop songs are available to listeners at a time and place convenient for them,” said Kaspars Mauriņš, director of Latvian Radio 2.
