This is a movie made by Mona J. Hoel in 1997. Vuolgge mu mielde Bassivárrái ("Come With Me to the Sacred Mountain) is a dream of freedom from Western civilization's oppression of minorities. Mari Boine portrays a woman who tries to escape from the darkness, the bleak conditions of the Sami people after the Norwegian colonization.

NEW ALBUM: “STERNA PARADISEA" OUT AUGUST 24th ON UNIVERSAL MUSIC.
Mari Boine is currently completing the work on the follow up to her extraordinary In The Hand Of The Night / Idjagieas album (2006). Instantly recognisable for her uniquely emotive voice, Boine conjures up images of the landscape of Northern Norway and the Arctic Circle, a magical world of brilliant snow, winter darkness and remote empty wilderness.
While her music remains rooted in the Sami traditions amongst which she grew up, Boine has invited a crack team of Norwegian and African artists to work on the new album, Sterna Paradisea / Saivo Nasti. It was recorded in South Africa and Oslo and produced by Svein Schultz. It is due for release on August 24th.
-------------------------------------------------------
Mari Boine was born on November 8th 1956 in Gámehisnjárga by Karasjok.
Educated teacher from the Regional College in Alta.
Full-time musician since 1985.
Her debut album Jaskatvuoda manna came in 1985, her breakthrough came in 1989 with Gula Gula .
Music can touch on strings you might not know you had. It can provide meaning, but it can also create moments which cant be defined. Moments which go to your core, that touch some sort of primal instinct, and that put you in a trancelike condition. Music can confuse you. But it can also make you feel happy, uplifted or enriched. And maybe even more whole.
Mari Boines music has this effect.
You cant leave a meeting with Mari and her music untouched. That is, if you dare to let her get close.
Her music is actually simple. It is in the meeting between the songs, her voice and the musicians in the band that it gains strength. And in the interaction with the listener, because you must meet Maris music with an open mind.
If you dont give of yourself, you might not discover the wealth she has to offer.
Because Mari is exceptional.
She is an artist who is difficult to categorize.
Perhaps shes a Sámi artist, perhaps shes a practitioner of world music. Perhaps she makes music in the borderline between Sámi, other folk music, jazz and rock.
Perhaps shes the sum of all this. Or perhaps shes just herself. A musician, singer and artist whos making her own mark. Who has gone down a road where she hasnt always seen the destination. And who is still travelling.
