Gyvata stands out in the tapestry of contemporary music with its deep roots entwined in Lithuania's rich folk traditions. As an ensemble that marries the past with the present, Gyvata breathes new life into ancient songs, allowing them to resonate with modern listeners while preserving their historical authenticity. Their name, derived from Lithuanian folklore, evokes an earthly spirituality and a connection to nature that's evident in their music.

The group has been steadily building a reputation for reimagining traditional Lithuanian music with an inventive and soulful approach. Their recent releases, such as "Saulala" and "Išvandravau," showcase their ability to blend time-honored melodies with contemporary sensibilities. Two versions of "Broliai Karelin" — the evocative "Broliai karelin jojo, su vėjužiu kalbėjo" and the split "Broliai Karelin / Ad Gloriam" — highlight Gyvata's dedication to storytelling through music, exploring themes of brotherhood, nature, and the human spirit. With each song, Gyvata invites listeners to step into a world where folklore and history are woven into a tapestry of sound that is both haunting and uplifting.
