Ilgi - Latvian post-folk group

The most famous world music band from Latvia Iļģi celebrated their 30th anniversary on April 21, 2011. The group started at the Cultural Centre of Iļģuciems in Riga where Ilga Reizniece, a professional violinist, founded an ensemble of Latvian folk music. She had just graduated from the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music and was an active member of two prominent folk music ensembles Bizīteri and Skandinieki of the time.
