The Ambassador of the European Union in Chisinau will sing a rock song in Romanian on the lyrics of Grigore Vieru, on the occasion of the Romanian Language Day.

The original song, "Dzimtā Valoda", was composed in the 90s by a band from Latvia, who used the Latvian translation of the poem "In your language" by Vieru. Ambassador Jānis Mažeiks had the idea to re-adapt it – he used the original poem, but the same melody, which is extremely popular in his home country and which is considered one of the symbols of the national revival in Latvia.

"Angry Band" helped the ambassador, and the band Līvi and Călin Vieru, the owners of the rights to the song and the lyrics, respectively, were excited about the project. Keep an eye on us and don't miss the premiere, which will take place on August 31, Romanian Language Day, on the social networks of the Delegation of the European Union in Moldova.
