World. Mari Boine presents “Alva”

Mystical, gentle and at the same time powerful – Mari Boine’s singing exudes a magic all of its own. She is not only a singer but also an activist, campaigning for women’s rights and for Sámi culture. Since the 1990s she has been recognised in world music as one of Norway’s most compelling voices. Musically, she fuses the traditional Sámi joik with jazz, folk and rock – creating a sound that is entirely her own. In her new programme Alva, Mari Boine celebrates the cultural heritage of her people and the wisdom of her ancestors.
