Popular Latvian singer Dzintars Čīča returns to the concert stage in November 2023 with a new tour titled “Zelta izlase,” performing across several cities after a period of relative quiet in the public eye, according to reports from muzikaspasaule.lv and news.inbox.lv.
After spending recent years largely out of the spotlight, Dzintars Čīča is heading back on tour alongside fellow schlager music artists Jānis Krūmiņš from the group “Apvedceļš” and Silvestrs Lorencs from “Zelta Kniede,” as reported by muzikaspasaule.lv. “I am eagerly looking forward to meeting my listeners in Latvia!” Čīča stated, according to news.inbox.lv. The tour features his well-known repertoire staples such as “Vijolnieks” and “Likteņlīnijas,” alongside tracks like “Tu esi vasara,” “Par to,” and “Nāc un dziedi.” Additionally, Čīča personally selected Jānis Stībelis’s song “Tikai tev” to perform for audiences during the series of concerts.

Personal Life and Family Support
Returning to active performing, Čīča credits his partner, 30-year-old Antra Stepane from Talsi, as a significant source of personal support, noting that the couple has been together for over two years. “We live well and harmoniously. Antra inspires me to sing, not to give up, and to enjoy every moment of love,” the musician told muzikaspasaule.lv. Čīča also maintains a close relationship with his two children from previous relationships—seven-year-old Gabriela and five-year-old Markuss. Although the children have lived apart from him in their daily routine for nearly three years, Čīča stated that he takes them in whenever possible and expressed joy that his children and Antra share a strong, friendly bond.
