Monday night marked the sámi in their 100-year struggle for democracy, justice and diversity. Today, there was enough of a sami selection, this time in the direction of the MGP by the fact that one of the year’s ten artists will perform joik on stage in Oslo Spektrum 11. march.
2017, with the hundredth anniversary, is an important year for the sámi. The sámi culture has been a very boost in the last few years. I feel therefore honored to be allowed to help lift this even more forward, not least shown up yoiking on the big scenes.
It says Elin Kåven from Karasjok. Together with musikkprodusenten Robin Lynch from Sandnessjøen is sailing up as one of the favorites ahead of this year’s Norwegian MGP-final 11. march. The song is defined as teknojoik.
about the force of the lur
I think the norwegians ‘ fascination for the sami music is due to the universal urkraften in the tones. It doesn’t matter what language it is sung in, urmusikken going into whatever, ” says Robin Lynch.
Even though the press yesterday only got to hear modest 15 seconds of each song, have the faithful MGP-fans got to hear all the songs fully. After that Aftenposten has reason to believe, is just the song “First step in faith/Oadjebasvuhtii” already become a favorite.
despite the fact that the nmf music director in the MGP in the Norwegian broadcasting corporation, Jan Fredrik Karlsen pulled up three very familiar names, Kristian Valen, Åge Sten Nilsen, Rune Rudberg which is to be found in this year’s starting field.
We always take our starting point in the songs, what we get the most foot. It’s also about the similarities, excitement, and curiosity, new things, old things, and this bouquet, I think we have managed to meet, ” says Karlsen.
Last year’s final in the Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm passed without Norway. Karlsen bedyrer that it did not lose any sleep from him.
I can not allow myself to be stressed about it. The most important thing for me is that the songs we pick out can make a difference. The goal is still to win the Eurovision Song Contest, ” he says.
He thinks it’s extra gratifying that he managed to convince Kristian Valen to write a eurovision song-song, and again on to perform it yourself.
– It is probably the largest bomb, it is exciting and surprising I would think. At the same time it creates an expectation. Many have a relationship with Kristian Valen in one or another context. I have great respect for him as an artist, ” says Karlsen.
Stand out
Morten Thomassen, leader of the MGP-club in Norway, admits that the sámi song is exciting.
– It is probably the one that stands out most, and perhaps has the greatest vinnerpotensial, in any case, on tape. Then we’ll see how she behaves on stage, ” he says.
this Year’s final of the Eurovision Song Contest will be held Kiev in the Ukraine. There has Åge Sten Nilsen has been before. He and WigWam won the Norwegian final in 2005 and participated in the final in Kiev.
– Yes, I have been in Kiev, where I have been and where I have been arrested. We were there the year after the finals, in 2006. Because of an encounter with a hostile flight attendant on board the plane, I was arrested when we landed, ” he says. The arrest lasted, however, only over an hour before he dropped out.
– So I tend to go back, I. For me MGP is an excellent opportunity to get told the audience that there is a band called Ammuntion. Now I’m in the process of completing a Queen-my show, after ten years, and when I needed a new job. It’s called the Ammuntion, he says.
