KATARINA BARRUK.
Katarina Barruk is known as one of Sábmie’s most esteemed artists. She is raised in Lusspie (Storuman) and Gajhrege (Gardfjäll). The last decade Katarina has toured through Europe, giving highly appreciated concerts and her performance at Øya festival was acclaimed as "Øyas biggest revelation" by The Line of Best Fit.
She delivers a fierce, yet deeply down-to-earth, mix of pop music, traditional joik and improvisational elements.
Barruk's powerful and unmistakably clear voice has built a captive audience over the years. It's no coincidence that in recent years, she has performed at festivals with a pioneering character such as Iceland Airwaves, Reeperbahn and WOMEX. In 2023 and 2024 Katarina has also performed her music together with Norwegian Chamber Orchestra and Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra.
Her second album Ruhttuo (2022) with the producers Arnljot Nordvik and Christo Stangness, cemented the singers reputation for not taking well-trodden paths and instead going her own way.

When I perform, I see inner images of places, people and events. I try to take the audience with me to those places and to my emotional state.
I want my music to bring freedom, a breathing space for people to rest in what it is like to be human.

Doing music in Ume Sámi is a way of inviting my friends and the audience into my universe, where Ume Sámi is norm, highly topical, and alive.
Barruk sings in one of her mother tongues, Ume Sámi language. The language is on UNESCO's red list of critically endangered languages, but many Ume Sámis are taking the language back.
