Modern deep dive into Sami roots
Lávre is a young Sami musician and artist from Kautokeino who balances tradition with innovation and spans genres and generations. His musical expression is strongly rooted in the Sami yoik tradition, but at the same time he both explores and searches for new impulses. With guitar and effects pedals, Lávre creates an atmospheric, down-to-earth soundscape. He invites the audience to travel through things that are often a little hidden beneath the surface, both for oneself and in Sami culture. The music is an exciting combination of yoik and song, intuitive guitar playing and lyrics that are based on the rich metaphorical lyricism found in old yoiks.
On his debut album Vuložat , which roughly translates to 'those or that which dwells beneath', he has collected songs of both traditional joik and contemporary joik. The album is the result of many years of inner work in which Lávre has reflected on his own personal mythology while delving into the historical origins of the Sami people.
