Music Video LinksArtist BiographyAvailable in:
Lávre Johan Eira is a young indigenous artist and musician from the Sámi village of Guovdageaidnu in the Norwegian side of Sápmi. His musical expression is strongly grounded in the Sámi vocal tradition of joik, yet always exploring new impulses in the world of Sámi music. Joik and song are at the center of his live performances; sometimes solo with a guitar and effects setup - and other times together with a varied ensemble of inspiring musicians. Lávre’s distinctive, exploratory yet grounded sound is inspired by an internal unrest and the strange mosaic of life, explored through a mystical lyrical world drawing from themes that are often a bit out of sight in the Sámi culture at large.
Lávre has performed several times at the Riddu Riđđu festival, won the Sámi Grand Prix song and joik contest together with Hildá Länsman at the Sámi Easter Festival in Kautokeino, been nominated twice for Young Artist of the year at the Sami Music Awards, appeared on Norwegian national television programme “Studio Sápmi” and performed around the world in places like New Zealand and Australia. Lávre often performs at Sámi events and has had many concerts all around Sápmi, performing both solo and together with artists like Hildá Länsman, Jakop Janssønn, Svein Schultz, Andreas Gundersen, Emil Kárlsen, Katarina Barruk, Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen, Ulla Pirttijärvi, Georg Buljo and Johan Anders Bær.
