The Latvian bagpipe and drum music group "Auļi" was founded in 2003. The group, which consists of six bagpipers, three drummers, and one bass player, creates unique sounds by mixing ancient and modern elements.

The musicians themselves have named their music style etnotranss (ethnic trance). While getting inspired by nature and the melodies of ancient Latvian folk music, they create new compositions filled with the energy of rock and the dynamics of world music.
