Marja Mortensson doesn’t feel the pressure to do what the majority expect – or might demand – her to. As the growing homogeneity of a shrinking planet continues to squeeze out local and regional diversity, Marja turns her face into the prevailing wind, determined to serve and protect her South Saami heritage. Despite there only being 500-1000 South Saami speakers still speaking, she insists on preforming in the language, arguing that she can articulate her emotions and thoughts much clearer and more effectively in her native tongue. This she does through the ancient art of joiking – the form of traditional song favoured by the Saami people. Marja’s distinctive voice is captivating and extraordinary, transporting anyone within earshot to the snowy landscape - Svahken sïjte – to the reindeer herding district that is her home. (womad 2019)
