A unique tribute to the Romanian language: The EU Ambassador performed Grigore Vieru's verses to rock music

The EU ambassador in Chisinau, Jānis Mažeiks, decided to do it by performing lyrics by Grigore Vieru to rock music.

Angry Band helped the ambassador, and the band Līvi and Călin Vieru, who own the rights to the song and lyrics respectively, were delighted with the project.

Mažeiks was inspired by the Latvian band Līvi's song 'Dzimtā Valoda', whose lyrics are actually a translation of Vieru's poem 'In your language'.

The original song "Dzimtā Valoda" was composed in the 1990s and is extremely popular in the ambassador's home country. The song is also considered one of the symbols of national revival in Latvia.
