The Baltic Sisters

The Baltic Sisters is an international project of traditional music that was born far from the shores of the Baltic in late 2022 at the WOMEX music expo in Lisbon, where singers from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania came together. Initially, The Baltic Sisters were united by their passion for sutartinės – ancient Lithuanian multipart songs, but now their repertoire also includes traditional music from Estonia and Latvia.

In the group’s concerts, you can hear both Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian folk songs separately, as well as intertwined, creating a unique and distinct sound. The singers also conduct masterclasses in Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian traditional singing.

The Baltic Sisters have recorded a collaborative tune with the overtone singers from the Barcelona Overtone Singing Choir MuOM in Spain – the Lithuanian sutartinė Saulala, which is included in the 2023 release of the contemporary folk music compilation Sviests 10.

In January 2025, The Baltic Sisters plan to release their debut album under the German label CPL Music. The group has already participated in Lithuania’s largest ethno music festival Mėnuo Juodaragis in 2023, and they performed  at the Valmiermuiža Ethno Music Festival in Latvia and the Viljandi Folk Music Festival in Estonia as well as at the Buskers festival de Neuchatel in Switzerland in the summer of 2024.
