MARGA MUZIKA
Marga Muzika
Marga Muzika, no number (2013)
Lithuanian folk-rock with four female singers mixing trad songs from Baltics,
Poland, Tuva and Armenia. One senses the singers are more interesting and rooted
than the rockist guys, whose old-fashioned Eurovisio-rockism largely lacks
subtlety and obscures clear musical identity. Nevertheless, good to see more
emerging from Lithuania.
