Kapteinis Reinis Combines Poetry, Car Culture, and Social Critique in New Music Video “Sarkanie Lukturi”

Latvian musician Captain Reinis has released a new music video for his song “Sarkanie Lukturi,” vividly blending a socially satirical message, iconic car aesthetics, and unexpected cameos.

The video features Horens Stalbe and Auto Lady, who embody contrasting buyer personas, while the symbolic Žiguli LADA becomes a striking metaphor for the legacy of post-socialism and the consumer society’s cycles.

The video production was supported by e-lizings.lv and Auto Svinks, who not only provided vehicles but also seem to have become part of the artistic message—a critical irony on how easily modern people fall into credit traps, status symbols, and illusions of progress.

“Sarkanie Lukturi” marks a boundary—between the desire to drive further and the need to stop. It is like a poem with stop signs that transforms into a song with a deeper message about oneself.

“It’s not that we don’t want to drive. We just need to think about where we are really going,” comments Captain Reinis.
The video’s aesthetic carries a nostalgic touch, enhanced by the analog charm of the Žiguli, while the characters seem to have stepped out of a modern absurd theatre. Both visually and musically, the clip balances between the irony of reality and the truth of art.
