Background notes
Archive material and source history
Sameblod formed in 1992 with four Sámi musicians: Anders Oskal, John-André Fredriksen, Matti Aikio, and Frode Fjellheim. They started by mixing traditional Sámi folk with rock and electronica, using instruments like the joik and singing in the Sámi language. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1994.
Their music often addresses Sámi identity and rights, with songs like 'Flourish' and 'Suddenly' reflecting these themes. They've played festivals like WOMAD and Roskilde, and have released several albums including 'Máze' in 1997 and 'Horizons' in 2017.
The group has kept the same lineup since the beginning, with Oskal on vocals and guitar, Fredriksen on drums, Aikio on bass, and Fjellheim on guitar. Their work has helped bring Sámi culture to wider audiences while staying rooted in their own musical traditions.
