Eolika

Eolika is a pop group which was formed in Latvia during 1966. The group has had many differing lineups since 1966, the most popular of which consisted of Olga Rajecka, Ilona Stepanova (replaced by Ligita Zeile in 1981), Dainis Dobelnieks and Viktors Zemgals during the early 1980's. From 1972 to 1992, its leader was Boriss Rezniks. The name of the band is derived from Aeolus - the ruler of the winds in ancient Greek mythology, which is why in a newspaper article the band members were called "children of the god of the winds".
