  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Elin feirer sine 10 år som artist med et veldig personlig album, der hun for første gang virkelig tar i bruk sin kulturarv - nemlig joiken. Man joiker det som betyr mest for en, så Elin har joiket blant annet bestemoren sin, niesen, og katta si.

    Albumet ble gitt ut i Tyskland i november 2015, og ble nominert i kategorien The Traditional Ethnic Music under German Record Critics’ Award. Albumet kom ut i Norge i februar 2016, og fikk straks terningkast 6 hos Romerike Blad.

    "Eamiritni er et strålende eksempel på fornyelse og revitalisering av eldgammel musikktradisjon uten at grunntonene går tapt. Et strålende album!"

    Includes unlimited streaming of Eamiritni / Rimeborn via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Nordic Notes | NN068 | Digital Single

"In sami tradition it's normal to yoik your pet, relatives, animals, nature and everything, so why not make a song to my cat, Lynxie? I was sitting on the sofa at home with a guitar - which I rarely do nowadays, and Lynxie was sitting on the other sofa sleeping. I really love her, just looking at her makes me calm and happy. So I just played something on the guitar and started yoiking her. And that was the start of this song. I decided to write her lyrics, to let it show what Lynxie means to me and what I have learned from her." - Elin Kåven

lyrics

LYNXIE

Čáppat ja goargat
Don mearredat buot ieš

Sávri ja - ceaggái
čielga-čalbmi dárku

Iešráhkis.
Divttát skeaŋkut go ánssášan

Bivddát jus gillet
Oahpat návddašit duinna!

Negulaš ja linis
Divššut iežat inta

Beautiful and regal
You decide for yourself

Strong and stubborn
Intense eyes watching

Self - loving
Presents are given to you when you allow

You hunt when you want to
Teach me to savor with you!

Forceful and soft
Taking care of your own universe
