On April 23, the renowned rock band 'Pērkons' will hold a concert entitled 'The goat climbed to the heavens' at the Līvāni cultural center. This event is not just a celebration of music but an homage to the beloved composer Jurgis Kulakovs, whose contributions to Latvian music have left a lasting impact. The proceeds from the concert will be dedicated to establishing a memorial site in Līvāni, near the local railway station, which played a significant role in Kulakovs' life as it marked the beginning of his musical journey.

The memorial site's creation is spearheaded by Kulakovs' sister, Maija Kulakova, a master of folk crafts, who also contributes to the concert's unique staging. This setup will blend the dynamic essence of rock music with the deep cultural roots of folk art, creating a presentation that reflects Kulakovs' legacy. Additionally, the concert will feature various guest artists, showcasing a blend of talent and artistry that resonates with the spirit of the late composer, further enhancing the tribute.

Organizing this concert highlights the community's dedication to honoring its artistic figures and ensuring their memories endure. By supporting the establishment of the memorial site, attendees will not only enjoy an exceptional musical experience but also contribute to a lasting tribute that signifies the importance of cultural heritage in Latvia. Such events unify fans, friends, and followers of Kulakovs’ work, celebrating not only his life but also promoting the ongoing relevance of Latvian music.
