It is already customary that the legendary group “Minutes” always celebrates something – this year it will be the 55th anniversary, which will be announced on August 11 with a concert in the open-air concert hall “Mītava” in Jelgava. The anniversary tour will continue with concerts in Liepāja, Ventspils, Jēkabpils and other places, but will end at the VEF Palace of Culture.

“Minutes” is one of the most famous Latvian rock groups, which became popular as a performer of the music of composer Imantas Kalniņas, and is currently considered the oldest group in Latvia. The first performance of “Minuet” took place in 1968, when six Jūrmala schoolchildren got together, when the brothers Sējāni and Bartašević, together with their associates, started joint rehearsals in rock music. Well, “Minuet” will celebrate its golden 55, inviting you to sing together with all your heart.
