Solju

Solju is a captivating musical duo rooted in Sámi indigenous traditions, formed by mother-daughter collaborators Ulla Pirttijärvi (a veteran Sámi joiker and member of Angelin Tytöt) and Hildá Länsman (of the Finnish-Sámi group VILDÁ). Their experimental sound weaves haunting joik vocals with contemporary electronic textures, creating a bridge between ancestral practices and modern Nordic folktronica. Recent releases like *Ođđa áigodat* ("New Era") and *Heargevuoddji* showcase their signature blend of ritualistic rhythms, nature-inspired soundscapes, and lyrical themes exploring Sámi identity. They've become notable voices in the revitalization of Sápmi culture through music, with remix projects like *Ođđa áigodat (Remixed)* demonstrating their appeal to both traditional and experimental audiences.
