Jumprava pensioners host singer-songwriter Vita Krūmiņa
The Jumprava pensioners' association "Viedums" held an afternoon with singer-songwriter Vita Krūmiņa, featuring songs and poetry as well as shared music-making with toys and simple instruments.
The pensioners' association "Viedums" in Jumprava, a locality in Latvia, has described a recent meeting with singer-songwriter Vita Krūmiņa on its Facebook page. The event was devoted to music and poetry, and the participants were members of the association's senior community. The source does not give the date of the post or the exact venue.
Songs and poetry
According to the association, Krūmiņa performed both long-familiar, well-loved songs and ones the audience heard for the first time. She also revived forgotten melodies and read touching poetry. Her message was an appeal to everyone to recognise the great, healing power of love.
Making music together
During the afternoon the guests took part themselves. Toy piglets, small drums, rattles and shakers were heard. The association says participants played with great enthusiasm and laughed wholeheartedly at their own cheerful efforts.
A thought about life's path
The association quotes the singer's idea that the road uphill has ended and people are now walking downhill, towards their childhood. While life's journey continues, she urged those present to enjoy every moment life offers and to keep their hearts open to joy. In this context the "diaper days" were mentioned, which, as noted, have not yet arrived.
In conclusion, the association thanked the singer for an afternoon full of energy and smiles. Photographs from the event were published on the association's Facebook page.
