Gula Gula (Hør stammødrenes stemme)

This profoundly important album brought the indigenous Sami musical tradition of 'Joik' to global prominence. Mari Boine flawlessly integrates the ancient, highly spiritual vocal chanting of her heritage with modern acoustic instrumentation and subtle global rhythms. It stands as a vital act of cultural preservation and a deeply moving statement on the oppression of the Sami people.
