\nMany first heard Rokas Ka\u0161\u0117ta\u2019s name in 2020, when his debut music video for the song \u201eTok\u012f moryt\u0173\u201d (This Morning) unexpectedly blew up on the internet, with its rhythmic accompaniment of the Dz\u016bkija words by a birch vanta. It was the beginning of Dz\u016bkodelika. Rock art is full of experimentation, exploration and surprises, but even the most disparate works are united by the Dz\u016bkai dialect. After travelling and living abroad, the creator himself was encouraged to feel his \u201enatural\u201d way of speaking anew by the realisation of the importance of not abandoning one\u2019s roots, of knowing what land one stands on, where one came from and who one is, in short \u2013 the idea of indigenousness.
\nThe rock songs are both his individual creations and the texts of Dz\u016bkai poets turned into music. Although small in number, it also has a prominent place in the list of Dz\u016bkai folk songs and their motifs. The musician has already released two albums: his debut Dz\u016bkodelika (2022) and Clay Songs dedicated to the poet Sigitas Geda (2025), which he recorded with a large group of friends \u2013 the Bemolis Kapela.
\nRokas Ka\u0161\u0117ta is more and more often taking to the stage with a group of professional musicians, with whom, as he himself says, he \u201eboils up good moturz\u0117s\u201d. During the cosy concerts, when the audience feels as if they have come to visit this company at the Dz\u016bkija farmstead, there is always something unexpected waiting for them \u2013 a new song, a story, a \u201edrumming mash-up\u201d, a distribution of seeds, or a performance. Meanwhile, the old songs, well-known to many, shine on the stage in unprecedented colours, surprise with unexpected twists and turns, and the best part of all is that Rokas and his band like to surprise themselves with a unique improvisation, meant to sound only here and now. <\/p>\n
