Biret Ristin Sara

**Biret Ristin Sara** is a Sámi musician and joik artist deeply rooted in the traditions of her indigenous culture from northern Norway. Hailing from Kautokeino, a hub of Sámi heritage, her music blends hauntingly beautiful joik vocals—a traditional Sámi form of storytelling through song—with subtle modern arrangements. Tracks like *Rášša* and *Áidnen* reflect her connection to nature, family, and the resilience of Sámi identity, often weaving themes of ancestral memory and the Arctic landscape into her work. While staying true to joik’s ceremonial roots, Biret’s releases, including *Ánne Riittá*, showcase her ability to bridge tradition and contemporary expression, making her a vital voice in preserving and revitalizing Sámi musical traditions.
