The Sound of Dainuojamoji Poezija

“The Sound of Dainuojamoji Poezija” brings together a collection of Lithuanian tracks that sit somewhere between music and poetry. This playlist highlights the genre known in Lithuania as "dainuojamoji poezija"—a form of sung poetry that blends thoughtful lyrics with folk, acoustic, and sometimes theatrical influences. You'll hear classic voices like Vytautas Kernagis and Saulius Mykolaitis, newer interpretations from artists like Baltos Varnos and Ieva Narkutė, and theatrical infusions courtesy of groups like Keistuolių Teatras.

There’s a balance here between stripped-down acoustic ballads and more layered, experimental pieces. Whether it's the reflective lyrics of Andrius Kaniava, the soft harmonies of Baltasis Kiras, or the quirky storytelling of Liūdni Slibinai, this playlist offers a wide cross-section of Lithuania’s poetic music scene. It’s a quiet, introspective listen, filled with personal stories, abstract reflections, and lyrics that are often at the forefront.
