Disconcerting, inevitably disconcerting, Mari Boine's musical universe attempts to communicate the ancient shamanic sounds of Lapland to today's world. Mari Boine is far from glitzy and superficial, and not by chance recognized by Peter Gabriel and Jan Garbarek, she strives to marry Saami traditions with jazz and electro sounds. Since 1985's Jaskatvuoda MannĂ , Mari Boine's career has been far from the beaten track, and was consecrated by Gula Gula in 1989. Sterna Paradisea in 2009 marks a further step in this extraordinary career.
