Duolva Duottar is a music duo hailing from Sápmi, the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sámi people that spans across the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia's Kola Peninsula. Committed to their indigenous roots, the duo often incorporates elements of traditional Sámi music into their sound, including the use of the joik, a unique form of cultural expression that is one of the oldest continuous musical practices in Europe. Through a blend of contemporary sounds and traditional influences, Duolva Duottar is known for crafting music that speaks to both the rich heritage and the modern-day experiences of the Sámi people.

Their evocative track titles, such as "Samestaten (State of Sapmi)," "Álggu Loahppa (The End of the Beginning)," and "Samegutt," reflect an engagement with themes of cultural identity, political autonomy, and the complexities of life in Sápmi. By addressing these topics in their music, Duolva Duottar is not just entertaining their listeners but also raising awareness of the Sámi's struggle to preserve their culture and autonomy. The duo's music resonates within the Sámi community and finds solidarity among indigenous and underrepresented groups worldwide. Through albums like "Markanstallu" and songs such as "Offroad," they continue to showcase the vitality of Sámi music, language, and storytelling to a global audience.
