Renowned singer, musician, activist, and cultural icon Mari Boine shares her newest single, ‘Lean dás’. This captivating track is a unique collaboration with Norwegian-Sámi band ISÁK & the band’s vocalist Ella Marie. The artists bring their rich musical backgrounds to the track, infusing it with a profound sense of authenticity and passion.
The track is taken from Mari’s full-length Alva, scheduled for release on the 6th of September 2024 via By Norse Music.
Mari shares her insights on the new single:"It can be difficult to maintain hope in these dark times, but to surrender hope is to lose our will to action, to render ourselves powerless. One reason I love "Lean dás (I Am Always Here)" is because it shines with hope. In this duet with my dear friend Ella Marie, we joik (summon) the Universal Mother, Divine Source, Giver of Life, Creative Force."
Ella Marie from ISÁK comments: "It truly is a dream come true to be featured on Mari’s new album. I have listened to her music as long as I can remember, and she is the greatest role model I have ever had. To now call her my friend and collaborator feels very special, and me and the rest of the band ISÁK are so honored that she wanted to merge her own song with our song, "Mun Lean dás", for this unique release. Singing it in the studio with Mari present was not only a magical experience, but also a master class in how she conveys emotions through her art. I am truly grateful for this experience."
