Friendship, the scent of summer, and the lightness of first love come together in the song “Aveņu Kokteilis”, where musicians from the group “Gambits” team up with singer Raiders (real name Aivars Konutis), who is taking his first step into the world of original music.
“Aveņu Kokteilis” blends pop and country vibes with a catchy melody, danceable rhythm, and lyrical summer imagery of a warm and sparkling connection between two people.
The vocals for the track were recorded by Raiders — a well-known cover artist in Latvia who has performed at a wide variety of events, and is now beginning his journey into original music. He shares: “This song is like a refreshing drink on a hot summer evening — light, warm, and a little dreamy. I hope every listener finds something personal in this cocktail.”
The lyrics and music were created by the members of Gambits themselves. “Aveņu Kokteilis” marks just the beginning of the group’s planned pop-country direction, with more singles already on the way.
The song is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.
Gambits is a collective of musicians formed by long-time friends and colleagues: Edgars Jass (keyboards), Mārtiņš Sliede (guitar), Daniēls Pelcis (bass guitar), and Harijs Gūtmanis (drums). Although they’ve been performing together in various lineups for many years, “Aveņu Kokteilis” is their first officially released original single.
