Fortūna - Dovana Tau

Review by Andreas Schulze-Kopp

Fortūna's latest album, Dovana Tau, is a mesmerizing collection of songs that showcase the Lithuanian band's unique blend of traditional folk music and contemporary soundscapes. The album is a celebration of Lithuanian culture, with each track drawing inspiration from the country's rich history and folklore.

From the haunting melodies of "Giesmė apie Aušrinę" to the upbeat rhythms of "Dovana Tau," Fortūna creates a sonic landscape that is both captivating and thought-provoking. The band's use of traditional instruments, such as the kanklės and the birbynė, adds an authentic touch to the music, while the electronic beats and synths create a modern twist.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Laužo Žirgas," a haunting ballad that tells the story of a mythical horse that can only be tamed by a woman. The song's haunting melody and ethereal vocals make it a standout track on the album.
