About this product
On her new album Alva, singer, musician, activist and cultural icon Mari Boine offers glimpses into a childhood which she abandoned when she chose to leave behind a strict religious upbringing in order to pursue a life of activism. The new studio record reflects on finding the balance the between her, the at times lonely, mission to share the culture and histories of the Sámi people through music to people across the world, and her personal journey and relationships. The poignancy of the record reaches an emotional high on the mournful InchMu eadniInch (Mother of Mine), wherein Mari laments her own relationship with her mother. She is also found reflective on InchOainnestanInch (Glimpses), when looking at the relationship she has with her son.Alva reflects the InchwillpowerInch of it's name, and takes the listener on a musical journey of exhilarating momentum, spurred along by a full band. There's an emancipated energy that is also reflected in the music, soaring to new heights over vast imagined landscapes of the tundra of Northern Norway. Album Tracks 1. Die Dienluohkkái (Up That Hill) 2. Dánssofal Mu Váhkaran (Keep on Dancing Váhkaran) 3. Olamuttosletne Ain (Still Within Reach) 4. Oidnojuvvon (Destiny) 5. Mu Eadni (Mother of Mine) 6.

For more than 30 years, Sami-Norwegian folk pioneer Mari Boine has captivated fans with her eclectic mixture of indigenous culture with folk and world music. The singer does not only fulfill a pioneering role when it comes to music, but also when it comes to the fight of preserving the culture of the Norwegian Sami people and the natural world. The earth is our mother, and if she is harmed, we are harming ourselves. This message lies at the core of Mari's legendary album Gula Gula, which will be re-released through By Norse in December 2023. Originally, Gula Gula was released on the tag that Mari Boine founded with her former husband. The album was then discovered by Peter Gabriel and released worldwide on his tag Real World Records, introducing the folk artist to international audiences, who welcomed her with open arms. With Gula Gula won Mari her first Spellemannprisen (Norwegian Grammy Award) in 1989. For this exclusive re-issue, the original recording tapes from 1989 were located and two previously unreleased tracks from the Gula Gula studio sessions were discovered. The original producer TellefKvifte mixed the two songs. The authentic producer notes have been included in this edition and the artwork has been re-envisioned by the original designer MadlaHruza.
