Meet Baltinos

Founded in 2017, Baltinos began as a vibrant trio inspired by the rich musical traditions of our roots. What started as a passion project to share cultural treasures has grown into a world-class collective of international musicians.

For nearly a decade, we have been the go-to Latin live band in Latvia, but our music knows no borders. We have successfully toured and performed at prestigious weddings and corporate galas in Norway, Sweden, Estonia, and Lithuania. This international experience means we understand the logistics of destination events and the nuances of diverse crowds.

What sets Baltinos apart is our unique fusion of genres. We dive deep into the rhythms of Amazonic Cumbia, blend them with the pulse of Reggae, and polish them with contemporary Latin Pop. This "Baltinos Sound" creates a sophisticated yet festive backdrop that is unique in the Northern European market.
