Johan Sara Jr.

Johan Sara Jr. is a Sámi musician and composer known for bridging traditional Sámi yoik (a vocal tradition of the Arctic Indigenous people) with modern electronic sounds. Hailing from Norway's Sápmi region, his work celebrates Sámi culture while pushing its boundaries – you'll hear haunting yoik melodies layered over pulsing synths in tracks like "Electronic Yoik" and "Mearraspeajal." Recent releases like *Gávcci jahkodaga / The eight sámi seasons* showcase his deep connection to nature's rhythms, translating the Arctic's eight distinct seasonal transitions into soundscapes. A cultural innovator, Sara Jr. collaborates frequently across artistic disciplines and uses his platform to amplify Sámi language preservation and Indigenous rights through emotionally charged, genre-defying music.
