Mirja Palo - Riegádahttin (2024)

Up in the Province of Lapland, Sweden and just north of the Arctic Circle is the locality of Jokkmokk, a settlement with about 3,000 people. While Jokkmokk is an important place for Sámi people and several institutions related to them, it is also the home of singer and songwriter Mirja Palo Päiviö who also plays some kantele, drums and percussion on her new album about birthing called Riegádahttin. With other musicians adding percussion, flute, marimba, bass, keys, guitar, kantele, violin, synthesizer, samples, electronics and backing vocals, the result is highly arranged, relaxing and poetic set of evocative music with a unique effervescence that shines with joy. ~Written by Joe Ross
