      Description: The ethnographical ensemble Ðíilbçni was founded in November 1981 in Skilbeni manor, which had belonged at one time to squire Lebedev. In the building of manor the Village Soviet, library and club were located. In club passed all our rehearsals. So we decided to name also the ensemble Ðíilbçni. Then there were 8-9 women singing in the ensemble. It was organized by the chief of the club Logina Zigrîda, but two years later she, because of change of the place of work, left. Since I (Puþule Emîlija) worked in library in the same building, I began to manage the ensemble. The ensemble began to grow, we were joined by good female voices. I invited also schoolchildren of Rekava secondary school, they participated for a certain time but left after finishing the school.
    In our ensemble there sing folklore narrators with very rich songstocks: Sliðâne Rozâlija, Logina Lucija, Puþule Marija.
    Ensemble Ðíilbçni has acted on many measures in our farm, our district, our republic. It has visited Valka, Valmiera, Songs hill, participated in Baltica-94, Baltica-97, sung on weddings and funerals.
    In repertoir - labour, wedding, soldier's, joint working songs.
