Music can touch on strings you might not know you had. It can provide meaning, but it can also create moments which can´t be defined. Moments which go to your core, that touch some sort of primal instinct, and that put you in a trancelike condition. Mari Boines Music has this effect, if you dare to let her get close.


Mari Boine was born on November 8th 1956 in Gámehisnjárga by Karasjok. Her breakthrough came in 1989 with Gula Gula, crossing the borderline between Sámi, folk, jazz and rock.

On her recent CD Idjagieas - In the hand of the night (Emarcy Rec 2006) Mari Boine combines modern electronic beats and traditional acoustic sounds. Just listen to remixes by german producer Henrik Schwarz (!k7) and swedish duo The Knife (V2).
