Emil Kárlsen – Experience Joik Like Never Before

For centuries, the indigenous people of Northern Norway have practiced joik in the frostbitten landscapes, as they roamed with their reindeer.

This ancient form of singing has been kept alive, and one artist who truly honors and innovates this tradition is Sámi musician Emil Kárlsen. During his concerts, he shares stories about how every home has its own unique joik.

Emil Kárlsen is a master at revitalizing this distinctive vocal tradition, blending traditional sounds with modern pop and rock influences.

Come and experience Emil Kárlsen as he brings new life to joik alongside his dynamic band at G!, happening from July 17-19, 2025.

You must be there!
