The rock band "Dabasu Durovys" was formed at the beginning of 2006 in Daugavpils.

Dabasu Durovys is a Latgalian pop rock band from Daugavpils. Most lyrics of the songs are written in the Latgalian language. The band's name "Dabasu Durovys" means "The doors of the sky" (translation from Latgalian).

Dabasu Durovys is one of the first rock bands that started to write music in Latgalian language, and it can be considered the member of the "Latgalian music New Wave". The band has recorded the first ever Latgalian blues (Vipingys blūzs) and Dixieland (Vacais mašinists). In 2008, the band released their first music album "Lepetniks" (Butterfly). Like many other new bands, Dabasu Durovys has taken part in many contests for young bands, with some success in 2007 (Mic Rec bārs open) and 2010 (Četri balti krekli new music contest).The band has also participated in the notable Latvian music festival "Bildes". In 2012 Album "Styklu Vītā Skaņa" (Sound instead of glass) was nominated as one of top 5 best pop rock albums of 2012 in Annual Latvian Music Awards (Latvijas Mūzikas Gada Balva). Apart from playing more than 20 concerts a year, Dabasu Durovys has also participated in festivals abroad – Lithuania (2007, 2009, 2011, 2012), Portugal (2010), Australia (2011). The band has taken influences from the 60's pop and rock, Folk rock, Blues and British poprock.
