The record label press info:
In the Arctic part of Europe, so far north that it is often missing from weather maps on television, lives a small minority people called the Sámi, more commonly known as the Lapps. Divided by the borders of Finland, Norway, Sweden and the former USSR, the Sámi have struggled against the harsh assimilation policies imposed upon them. By keeping their mother tongue intact they have more than speech - they have storytelling, teaching, poetry and songs. Mari Boine is an exciting new voice to emerge from this little-known culture. Her music is rooted in the Sámi heritage, 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.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
