Last Saturday, on Sámi National Day, Ánnámáret’s latest album, Nieguid duovdagat (Dreamscapes), was released. The release of the album was celebrated with a release concert which was released on Ánnámáret’s youtube channel. This concert can still be seen on youtube.

In the concert we heard live versions of the Nieguid duovdagat entity. Ánnámáret's yoik,, Ilkka Heinonen's jouhikko (Finnish bowed lyre) and Turkka Inkilä's live electronics were supplemented with Marja Viitahuhta's live video art. The concert was produced by the Sámi center Sajos.

After the release concert, Ánnámáret had the pleasure of attending a Q&A session with Simon Broughton. Simon Broughton is the editor-in-chief of Songlines magazine. This Q&A can also be found on Ánnámáret's youtube channel. The background of Ánnámáret's music and Sámi culture come to the fore in the discussion.
