Latvian Rock

Latvian Rock is a genre of music that originated in Latvia in the late 1980s. It is a mix of rock, punk, and metal, with influences from traditional Latvian folk music. The genre is characterized by its heavy guitar riffs, fast tempos, and often aggressive lyrics. It is often seen as a reaction to the Soviet occupation of Latvia, and is seen as a way to express the country's national identity. Popular Latvian Rock bands include Brainstorm, Prāta Vētra, and Dzelzs Vilks.
