Ligo Ligo App

The Līgo Līgo app is an iPhone application dedicated to the traditional Ligo (solstice) festival celebrates by Latvians as mid-summer night approaches. Ligo is the most cherished tradition of the year and for generations the central ritual of this festivity has been the singing of traditional Ligo songs.

The Ligo Ligo app includes more than 400 traditional Latvian Ligo folk songs, both the melody and several traditional instrumental samples. The app also lets one use iPhone/iPod touch as a music instrument and play along with the songs. It makes the traditional Ligo singing ritual more entertaining for younger generations which tend to avoid this tradition.

The Ligo Ligo app is the first branded mobile entertainment app in Latvia and - contrary to expectations - it received considerable attention from the local community, becoming the most downloaded free app of the Latvian App Store in the first days after the launch.
