He is a pioneer in the revival of traditional instruments in Latvia, and has performed in many countries in Europe, North America, and countries like Australia, India and Japan. He was also the founder and director of the folklore ensemble Rasa, which was active from 1988 to 1998.

In 2010 culture management center Lauska released Muktupāvels' bilingual book in Latvian and English titled "Kokles un koklēšana Latvijā/The Baltic Psaltery and Playing Traditions in Latvia" that also included a CD with kokles tunings, exercises and repertoire.[4]

In late 2019, Muktupāvels toured the United States and Canada together with his wife, performing various traditional songs from different historical Baltic regions (Curonia, Vidzeme, Latgale, Zemgale, Selonia, Lithuania, Prussia and Yotvingia) with musical instruments such as kokles, Jew's harp, guitar and dūdas.[5]

His spouse is Rūta Muktupāvela [lv].
