| Opplysninger | Det er ikke mer enn ett år siden det tilbakevendende samarbeidet med Bugge Wesseltoft rematerialiserte seg i form av albumet Amame, og nå er Mari Boine allerede klar for å spre nye toner ut til folket. I motsetning til forgjengerens spartanske besetning stiller Boine denne gangen med fullt band i ryggen. Alva er innspilt i Kysten Studio i Tromsø, og i produsentstolen finner vi igjen Boines gamle samarbeidpartner Svein Schultz. Ella Maria Hætta Isaksen medvirker på platas avslutningsspor "Lean dás / I Am Always Here", som akkurat er sluppet løs digitalt som den tredje singelen ifra albumet On her new album Alva, singer, musician, activist and cultural icon Mari Boine offers glimpses into a childhood which she abandoned when she chose to leave behind a strict religious upbringing in order to pursue a life of activism. The new studio record reflects on finding the balance the between her, the at times lonely, mission to share the culture and histories of the Sámi people through music to people across the world, and her personal journey and relationships. The poignancy of the record reaches an emotional high on the mournful “Mu eadni” (Mother of Mine), wherein Mari laments her own relationship with her mother. She is also found reflective on “Oainnestan” (Glimpses), when looking at the relationship she has with her son. Alva reflects the “willpower” of its name, and takes the listener on a musical journey of exhilarating momentum, spurred along by a full band. There’s an emancipated energy that is also reflected in the music, soaring to new heights over vast imagined landscapes of the tundra of Northern Norway.
