Video: Uldda Nieida

This is the tune Uldda Nieida from the album Idjagiedas - In The Hand of the Night (2006). In Sámi mythology, the Uldda nieida is the daughter of the creatures who live beneath the ground. Uldda Nieida was a dream of a woman, who could bewitch men for eternity if they didnt know the magic formulas which could free them from her embrace.

"Vuolgge mu mielde Bassivárrái" (Come With Me To The Sacred Mountain) is a dream of freedom from Western civilization's oppression of minorities. Mari Boine portrays a woman who tries to escape from the darkness, the bleak conditions of the Sami people after the Norwegian colonization.

This video was made in 1997.

Mari Boine has invited a crack team of artists and producers to remix some of her recent work. Far from debasing their source material by polluting it they instead refine and enhance elements of the original work, recontextualising it in magical new surroundings.

This is actually BOINE's second collection of remixes: the first, 2001's OÐÐA HÁMIS, featured contributions from Jah Wobble and Biosphere amongst others. Its 2008 sibling begins with an interpretation of Elle, BOINE's theme tune to 'The Kautokeino Rebellion', the recent highly successful film addressing the 1852 Sami uprising against Norwegian governmental suppression. The original recording, included at the album's close, is a desolately minimalist composition, but compatriots Mungolian Jetset reimagine the tune beneath a starlit sky, investing the originally heartbreaking melody with a bittersweet but equally haunting quality, not unlike an electronic Sigur Ros.

It's a stunning beginning to an unusually rewarding collection of remixes, most of the rest of which draw upon songs from BOINE's 2006 album IDJAGIEÐAS (In The Hand Of The Night). Tromsø's Syntax Erik takes on Gos Bat Munno Čiŋat Leat?, stripping it back to a skeletal dub that still shimmers like a snowy landscape, while Kohib – who recently remixed the similarly groundbreaking Sami act Adjagas – cranks up the bass on Davvi Bávttiin (On The Fells Of The North) while simultaneously giving it a sharper edge than the original. Further darkening the mood, 120 Days reestablish Boađán Nuppi Bealde (I Come From The Other Side) from 2002's 8 SEASONS in a more threatening environment, BOINE's voice struggling to be heard above the bleak metallic forces at work. In contrast, Berlin, Germany's Henrik Schwarz brings a little warmth to proceedings with an already established classic, his soulful deep house transformation of Vuoi Vuoi Mu (Vuoi Vuoi Me) having won fans on many of the world's dance floors following its release as a single last year.

Mungolian Jetset's second contribution is an epic, arguably frenzied rewiring of In The Hand Of The Night: retitled It Ain't Necessarily Evil, it more than justifies their repeat inclusion. Sweden's The Knife - alongside Schwarz the only non Norwegian act contributing – meanwhile convert Gos Bat Munno Čiŋat Leat? into a disorientating, fluttering slice of fragility, its name fittingly minimalised to Cinat. This perfectly offsets Mental Overdrive's thrusting, Moroder-esque Suoivva before Elle closes proceedings in its original form, a perfect reminder of BOINE's own brilliant purity.

Mari Boine Idjagiedas (released in 2006) can touch on strings you might not know you had. It can provide meaning, but it can also create moments which cant be defined. Moments which go to your core, that touch some sort of primal instinct, and that put you in a trancelike condition. Music can confuse you. But it can also make you feel happy, uplifted or enriched.
