The newspaper Vårt land describes the concert during the Sami church days in Mo i Rana as "Border-breaking" and a cultural highlight.
Rana Blad writes; Boundary-breaking traditional music that reaches and touches something very special ..
A packed large lavvu (Sami tent) showed a wonderful enthusiasm for Frode Fjellheim's commissioned work for the festival.
During Sami church days in Mo i Rana, Frode Fjellheim's work "Aejlies Eatneme! Aejlies Baakoe" is premiered!
The work is a commissioned work for the days, and is composed based on the theme for the days «Holy Earth! - Holy word.
Texts taken from Exodus, the poet Rumi and Songs from the indigenous peoples of North America Naabeehó and nêhiyawin (Navajo and Cree)
The work will be premiered on Friday August 9th 2013 in the large lavvu that has been set up for the festival.
Kultur i Troms (Culture in Troms) wanted to create a project where hymns and yoik were in focus on a church concert tour. In collaboration with Frode Fjellheim and Inga Juuso, they developed the project «Bassi Ája» where Fjellheim´s «Aejlies Gaaltije» was the framework and the main ingredient.
From the tour produced by Rikskonsertene (Concerts Norway) in February, we have made two videos; the opening song "Meavraa", as well as "Jinde mahi mahi", with Sher Miandad Khan as guest.
The pictures are from Moss church, Lørenskog house and Chateau Neuf on January 31. - February 8, 2013.
The program "Yoik as a starting point" is part of HiNT (Nord-Trøndelag University College)'s study catalog.
On Friday March 15, this year's students completed their studies with a practical exam on the premises of the Sami House in Oslo.
They have then completed a study which in addition to 15 credits gives them a unique competence in the oldest living music tradition in Europe.
