  • Norwegian encyclopedia (SNL) article "Musikk i Latvia" (music in Latvia), last paragraph:
    "Folkemusikken har dype historiske røtter, men innsamlingen av denne tradisjonen begynte først på 1800-tallet. Folkesangen omfatter mange former, hvor de fleste synges av kvinner og er knyttet til ritualer, årstider og dagliglivet. Videre synges det til dans. Folkeinstrumentene omfatter kokle (siter, i slekt med finsk katele), fele, stabule (blokkfløytetype), ganurags (gjeterhorn), taure (krummet neverlur), dudas (sekkepipe) og trideksnis (metallrasle).[2]"
  • World Music Network, "The Music of the Baltic States":
    "Sadzives music – village dances and songs – use instruments including kokles (zither), dūdas (bagpipe), taure (wooden trumpet), stabule (whistle), rata lira (hurdy-gurdy), trideksnis (rattle-stick), vargas (Jew’s harp), gīgas (trough fiddle) and – more recently – violin and accordion."
  • Vilcina TV: Video: "Taure - Children tray to use long wooden horn"
    • "Vilcins TV is channel for folks, who like big festivals and traditional culture. There you can watch nice moments from the biggest children festival, which is coming to take place in Riga, Latvia. Over 30 000 children age 3 – 18 prepared their songs, dances and music. Enjoy!"
