Ligitas Kernagis - Tavo Akys

Review by Nabeel Anthony

Ligitas Kernagis' album Tavo Akys is a beautiful collection of Lithuanian folk songs and original compositions. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Mano Širdis," which showcases Kernagis' emotive vocals and the delicate interplay between the guitar and accordion. The title track "Tavo Akys" is a standout, with its lilting melody and poignant lyrics about lost love.

Throughout the album, Kernagis' voice is warm and inviting, drawing the listener in and creating a sense of intimacy. The instrumentation is minimal but effective, with the accordion and guitar providing a simple yet rich accompaniment to Kernagis' vocals.

One of the album's highlights is "Kai Aš Žiūriu Į Tave," a tender love song that showcases Kernagis' ability to convey emotion through his voice. The album closes with "Mano Sutemos," a mournful ballad that is a fitting end to this beautiful collection of songs.

Summary by Nabeel Anthony

Tavo Akys is a stunning album that showcases Ligitas Kernagis' skill as a singer and songwriter. It is a must-listen for anyone interested in Lithuanian folk music, and a testament to the enduring power of traditional music.
