A-Eiropa

A-Eiropa

A-Eiropa is a popular Latvian pop-music band. The name A-Eiropa originally stood for "Austrumeiropa" which means "Eastern Europe" in Latvian.

Quite unusual cultural phenomenon is the fact that the group most often releases two versions of songs - one in Latvian and another in Russian (same music, different verses) - or mixes both languages in the same song.

The originator and voice of the group is Arturs Duboks, who lives in the city of Daugavpils in Latvia.

Group has several times ranked in the top of the hits list for national radio stations and abroad. That includes the hits like "Baltās rozes"/"Белые розы" (White roses), "Jūrmala"/"Юрмала"(Jurmala) and others.
