A man in a toga plays guitar for a large group in a forest while at at commune in Gauja, Latvia, 1984. The performer stands along the left edge, facing slightly right. A wreath sits atop his head and either a blanket or towel is draped over his shoulder (like a toga). He plays an acoustic guitar and sings to a large crowd. People sit in a circle around him as he performs. Several people stand in a row across the mid-ground; they stand behind the seated people. In the background, a tent stands at right and people cluster in another clearing at left.
