Armands Birken joined the Chicago Five 52 years ago - in 1973.
The Chicago Five is a phenomenon! During the Soviet times, it was like a fresh breath of freedom for Latvia. The lyrics that criticize the existing equipment and our idols for freedom with humor. Legally and illegally, the Chicago Fifth was republished in cassettes and tapes.
In 1989, Armands performed with the "Chicago Pentes" on Mežaparks's Great Stage, where about 90,000 listeners gathered, so this concert could be considered one of the Latvian records in terms of the number of visitors. In 2013, together with his "Chicago Fifth" colleagues, he received the "Latvian Music Record of the Year Award" for his lifetime contribution.
"For this concert, I will choose songs that have had a special place in my life: patriotic, romantic and funny songs and, of course, songs about Latvia. Listeners will also be able to ask me questions and maybe share short jokes about some songs, as well as for my years." "At the moment I am in a particularly emotional stage - I am going to stop my musical activity. So this concert will be especially dear and sweet to me.
Loria Wood says about Armand Birken, very sincerely: "I know Armand very well, and not just about the" Chicago five. "We are a old friend - our families in Chicago were friends at the time when I was a little girl. Or, in the exile, Armand has always made a huge amount of tribute to the lonely seniors.
