Romowe Rikoito - UKA '2024

Tracks list

UKA is a journey on the inner path of Baltic Eternity – Prābutiskan
– towards the sanctuary of Rāmawa. The title refers to the Prussian
sky-god, Ukapirms, “the most-first,” highest of the Baltic gods.
Ukapirms is a secret name of the god DÄ“iws, corresponding to the
Proto-Indo-European Deiwos, “the Shining One.” Sometimes this name
is understood as the Lituanian word "auka" (place of sacrifice/sacred place),
which actually corresponds to "alka" - phonetically both are very close.
Ukapirms is a many-faceted god, and he manifests through numerous characters and
mysteries. 8 songs trace these manifestations through the wheel of the year,
beginning with Kliptinas Kalēndas, a “Secret Yule,” and
continuing in an eternal circle through equinoxes and solstices, dreams,
riddles, and deserted places, all places where Ukapirms reveals himself in
myriad forms. Romowe Rikoito has tread this path since 1995, and on this new
album they incorporate the dreamlike and hallucinatory sounds of 1980s
electronics to their unique Baltic Prussian neofolk. UKA is a continuation of
the mysteries explored on NAWAMAR (2016) album and previous UNDEINA (2014)
album.
