Regardless of the fact that there are hardly any traces left of bagpipe and drum playing traditions in Latvia, both instruments are mentioned in Latvian folklore materials. Based in their own research and experience, "Auļi" have developed a perception of Latvian bagpipes, bagpipe tunes and the possibilities of the instrument, as well as combined this sound with the rhythm and beat of different kinds of drums, including one of the biggest tree trunk drums in the Baltic States.
