Lolita Vambute, a Latvian pop song composer and singer, is the guest of the show "Daudz laimes, jubilār!" ("Happy Birthday, Jubilarian!"). She is described as a Latvian national treasure and represents the beginnings of the country's light music.

Vambute was born in the same year as composer Raimonds Pauls, whom the programme's introduction calls the Maestro. Like Pauls, she is tied to the origins of Latvian light music.

She is the first woman in Latvia to compose pop songs, and she performed her own songs herself. The programme's makers stress her elegance and grace.

The description of the programme also mentions her musical path, from teaching herself to play the piano to carefully considered pop performances.
