User:Nigosh/wip/Mari Boine

Mari Boine is a Norwegian Sami musician known for having added jazz and rock to the joiks of her native people. Boine grew up amid the Laestadian Christian movement as well as amidst discrimination against her people. She was asked to perform at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, but refused because she perceived the invitation as an attempt to bring a token minority to the ceremonies. Gula Gula (1989, Real World) was her breakthrough release, and she continued to record popular albums throughout the 1990s.
