In the spring of 2027, Antra Stafecka and Ingars Viļums will head out on a special concert tour across Latvia, inviting listeners to a musical story, “Warm, Little Flame”
Continuing what was begun in the previous concert tour “THE HEART OF MY LAND”, Antra Stafecka and Ingars Viļums will once again invite audiences to experience not just a concert, but, as viewers called this special musical experience during the previous tour, “Antra and Ingars’ song and dance festival” - and this story will continue in 2027 as well.
At the heart of the concert tour is the artists’ new album “Warm, Little Flame!”, in which, in a contemporary musical language, both artists search for a connection with folk songs, Latvian traditions, nature, and a person’s life wisdom, inviting everyone to strengthen their inner core and not forget where we come from. “Warm, Little Flame” is a story about roots that give strength and the little flame that must be kept alive within oneself and passed on to future generations.
The concerts will feature songs from the new album as well as much-loved collaborations by the two artists already familiar to listeners - “Dzīparos”, “To Live a Latvian Life”, “Across Crosses and Curves”, “Call Out”, “Longings”, “Dūmdāva”, “Selgā” and other songs.
A special place in the creative journey of both artists belongs to the song “To Live a Latvian Life”, created in collaboration with the legendary band “Jumprava” and which became the winner of the Latvijas Radio 2 listeners’ poll “Musical Bank 2024”.
Antra Stafecka’s expressive vocals and Ingars Viļums’ musical signature will blend in the concert program with a broader stage story, in which Latvian folk dance and choir singing traditions will also play an important role.
A special participant in the tour will be the youth dance group “DZĪPARI” from Ogre State Gymnasium, which will bring movement, energy, and the power of Latvian dance to the concert program.
And, of course, the audience can also expect special surprise guest performers, whose names will be revealed closer to the concerts.
That is why Warm, Little Flame is not just a concert tour. It is a jointly created event where professional artists, young talents, local singers, dancers, and special guests meet on one stage.
GRAND FINALE OF THE TOUR
After the concerts in Latvian cities, the tour will reach its climax with a grand summer concert in Jelgava at the concert hall “Mītava”, where Antra Stafecka and Ingars Viļums will invite everyone to a special summer evening, designed as a large-scale finale event for the tour.
