Katarina Barruk is an artist whose music draws on the rich traditions of the S\u00e1mi people. Though currently based in Oslo, Barruk\u2019s roots lie in the northern Swedish town of Lusspie (Storuman), where the critically endangered Ume S\u00e1mi language was spoken in her family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\u201cI grew up in a place where most people spoke Swedish, and while I also spoke my native language, I couldn\u2019t share it with my friends. In my music, I don\u2019t use Ume S\u00e1mi to prove anything. It\u2019s more about the fact that it\u2019s the language in which I can express myself most fully. It gives me the opportunity to invite my loved ones, but also my audience, into a world where Ume S\u00e1mi is natural, current, and alive,\u201d explains Barruk. \n<\/p>\n\n

In her captivating songs, Barruk seamlessly blends the local language with the evocative sounds of joik, a S\u00e1mi singing style that transcends mere melody. These elements intertwine with improvisational flourishes, creating a truly mesmerising sonic experience.<\/p>\n\n

For her Lublin performance, Barruk will be joined by fellow Norwegian musicians Arnljot Nordvik and Vegard Bjerkan, marking their first-ever Polish appearance. <\/p>\n\n
