    "The album «Máizan-Thaw» shows my sami background from a new side, where the traditional, mythical and modern are mixed. Through this album my inner life as a sami girl in the city has manifested. The roots and longing for the nature is present, but at the same time I am drawn towards the urban. The ice i my debutalbum "Jiknon musihkka-Frozen music" (2009) is melting, and what is under the ice is exposed."-Elin Kåven


    Máizan (m'a:jtsa:n) Máizat bivaldit, liehmudit, loikat, suddat. Become less cold, get milder. To become warm enough for snow and ice to melt. Thaw (thô)

Ija árdna
Arva álo

Oaččun dan maid darbbašan
dan maid mun siđan
Buot lea nu mo dat galgá leat
dá lea dat riekta

Night treasure
Always ready

I get what I need
what I want
Everything is how it is supposed to be
this is the right thing
