Ánnámáret (Anna Näkkäläjärvi-Länsman) is a Sámi musician and a yoiker whose yoiks draw their strength from ancestral traditions and the nature of Sápmi. The landscapes of her home region in Nuorgam provide an endless source of inspiration for her music.

Together with her working group, Ánnámáret has released two albums in which her yoik, Ilkka Heinonen’s bowed lyre (jouhikko), and Turkka Inkilä’s electronic music intertwined into a unique whole. The fourth member of the group, media artist Marja Viitahuhta, has created video art for each track.

The 2021 album Nieguid duovdagat was nominated for an Etno-Emma Award at the Emma Gala. The group’s latest album, Bálvvosbáiki, released in August 2024, explores the Sámi worldview and how it manifests in contemporary Sámi life. The yoiks ask: Where are the sacred places of today?

In Ánnámáret’s concert, the audience can experience a complete work in which traditional and contemporary musical and visual elements merge into an immersive audiovisual performance.
