“By telling my own personal story as a Sámi, I feel I'm sharing a piece of my people's story.”Mari Boine
Sámi singer from Karasjok in northern Norway, born in 1956, and the best-known voice of the joik. A joik does not describe its subject but calls a person, animal, place or spirit into presence, and it grew out of a Sámi understanding of the world as kin rather than scenery. She sings it alongside jazz and rock without letting go of what it is.
