Gula
Gula Gula: Hør Stammødrenes Stemme ("Listen, Listen: Hear the Voice of the Foremothers") is an album by the Sámi singer Mari Boine, recorded in 1989 and released on the Iđut label. It provided her breakthrough, making her internationally famous. It won a Spellemannprisen (Norwegian Grammy award) in 1989. Boine appeared on the 1989 version as "Mari Boine Persen", her Norwegian name; on later versions she used her Sámi name only.
Boine sings in a joik style, recalling traditional Sámi singing, on the album. Scholars have noted her Sámi background and the album's feminist message and its apparently ethnic sound, while debating the music's specific connection to Sámi tradition or ethnicity.
