Biography

Carol Martini has been singing and writing songs since she was an 11-year-old growing up in California. Initially trained on the violin, she turned to the guitar and eventually received recognition on one of the first Golden West College Recording Arts albums with the song "Take My Heart." In the 1980s, Martini ventured to England to start a band, but her first self-produced disc, The Story So Far, wasn't released until she returned to the states in 1990. This was followed by the release of Piece by Piece in 1992 and Modern Loneliness in 2000. ~ Roxanne Blanford, All Music Guide

This article is about Mārtiņi. For Martini, see Martini.

Mārtiņi was the name of a festival in ancient Latvia, celebrated on November 10, marking the end of the fall and the beginning of winter. The festival marks the passage from Ūsiņš to Mārtiņš, two horse deities. Ūsiņš is invoked during the summer, while Mārtiņš is a winter god. The festival marked the end of the preparations for winter, such as salting meat and fish, storing the harvest and making preserves. Mārtiņi also marked the beginning of masquerading and sledding, among other winter activities.[1]
