Armands Birkens 70

Chicago Five's 70th anniversary concert Armands Birkens!

The heart and soul of the "Chicago Five" ensemble, Armands Birkens, will fly to the third largest US city in terms of population for just one exclusive concert. On October 20 at the VEF Culture Palace at 2 p.m., we would celebrate his 70th anniversary together!

Armand Birken's lyrical voice and absolutely excellent performance is what opens and fills the audience. For the concert dedicated to his anniversary, Armands Birkens has invited his long-time stage partner Lori Vudas, as well as accordionist Roland Zelča from the ensemble "Hägenskalnas muzikanti" as guests.

Armands Birkens has enough stage experience, and the audience already knows what can be expected from him. But all this must be seen and heard again, because such an opportunity will be given only once in a lifetime, and it should not be missed!

The group "Chicago Five" is a phenomenon! During the Soviet period, it was like a breath of fresh freedom for Latvia. Lyrics that humorously criticized the establishment and our idols of freedom. Legal and illegal recordings of the "Chicago Five" were republished on cassettes and tapes.

It is the "Chicago Five" who hold the Latvian record in terms of the number of visitors to a single concert, which no group will probably ever be able to beat. Namely, in 1989 Mežaparks stage gathered 70,000 listeners during the performance of the "Chicago Five"!

Lorija Vuda speaks especially warmly about Armand Birken: "I know Armand very well, and not only in connection with the music group" The Chicago Five”. We are old friends - our families were friends in Chicago when I was a little girl. I have been by Armand's side not only during Piecīšť visits, but also together at various events, including family celebrations. I know that Armands is an absolute patriot of Latvia and a great activist in the diaspora, or, as it used to be called, exile society. Armand has a kind heart and always stands out for his great helpfulness. Not only in my eyes, but also in the eyes of other people, he has earned great respect by the fact that he sees lonely, old people in society who have no one to belong to and who need support. He will not refuse his help if someone needs to be taken to a doctor or transported from home/apartment to a care facility. No one forces him to do this, but Armand will always help anyone who needs it. In my view, this is a rare and respectable character trait, and no listener who comes to a concert and hears the songs performed by Armand Birken will ever know about it. I am unspeakably happy to know such a person as Armands Birkens. His name should really be written with a capital letter!"

Tickets to the concert can be purchased at "Bilešu Serviss" outlets.
