By greenland today, greenland today march 2012
Simon Lynge is one of Greenland’s many international voices, doing very well abroad.

For years, Rasmus Lyberth has moved Danes in particular, even though he sings in Greenlandic. Last year, he made the Royal Albert Hall feel the rush that can only be conveyed by music.

Allstars
In Denmark, Julie Berthelsen has long since achieved pop star status, and names like Nina Kreutzmann and Mads Lumholdt have also made an impression by, e.g. winning the Danish version of Allstars together with Julie.

Nive Nielsen & The Deer Children’s album »Nive Sings«, from 2009 is brought to Scandinavia through Playground Music and to the rest of the world through Glitterhouse Records in Germany.

Alaska
We have to go to Los Angeles to find Karina Møller. She is working on the vocals for a film, but otherwise she lives in Anchorage, Alaska, where she is working on a new CD, together with her band Pamyua.
They have a unique sound that reaches far beyond the borders of the Arctic, with a combination of traditional Inuit songs and modern funk and soul.

Universal
Greenland has many more voices and bands that have played at festivals and on scenes all over the world, so it is hard to do them all justice in a single article. One thing is sure, the world has discovered that Greenlandic music in particular speaks a universal language we can all understand and feel.
