Mari Boine at the Music Festival Respect

27. 6., Štvanice Island, Prague, 5:30pm

On Saturday 27 June from 5:30pm, the famous Norwegian Sami musician Mari Boine is giving a concert on the Štvanice Island in Prague within the Respect Music Festival 2009. ...

Her first album Gula Gula was released as a bold discovery by the Real World label 20 years ago. Her music is rooted in the Sámi heritage from the Norwegian Lappland, but to this strong, almost primeval base, she has brought a fresh interpretation and new instrumentation. Mari's crystal voice cuts across the guitars, flute, charango and drum, its qualities both hauntingly spacious and painfully intimate. She is an artist without equal and can touch on strings you might not know you had.
