Sámi artist Ánnámáret releases an album that reconciles the ancient Sámi worldview with the present day and asks where are the places of worship of this time? Ánnámáret joins the ancient gods and witches in this time.
The music on the album Bálvvosbáiki (Bálvvosbáiki) combines the old traditional Sámi yoiking and the old Karelian/Estonian tradition of the jouhikko bowed lyre with a completely new electronic soundscape. It is the result of a collaboration between musicians Ánnámáret (yoik), Ilkka Heinonen (jouhikko) and Turkka Inkilä (electronic music). The music on the album is further complemented by video art created by media artist Marja Viitahuhta. The working group's Sámi-Finnish multi-artistic collaboration has received international attention and the anticipated album will continue the collaboration that has been in place since 2019. Ánnámáret's yoiks or luohti´s, are the starting point for the album and video art.
Ánnámáret was an official WOMEX showcase artist in 2023.
