Stories from Sápmie
During the year 2023, the Sámi artists iDJa and Ramona Linnea have collaborated on a new and unique project. The album "Stories from Sápmie" draws inspiration from the nature in Sápmi, Sámi mythology and indigenous struggle. With their own field recordings from nature in Helgeland as a starting point, the artists have mixed different soundscapes with technological elements. The result ranges from ambient and poems to house, pop and drum & bass. Everything nevertheless stems from the same source; namely nature in Sápmi, and the artists' interpretation of it.
