Sara Ajnnak’s Sámi voice combines with The Ciderhouse Rebellion’s improvisatory magic for their debut album – out November 2024, touring throughout 2025.

Here, according to multi-award winning and Grammy nominated Sara, her indigenous voice, free of the preconceptions of Western music, is amplified and given an additional dimension, perhaps through the virtuosic UK duo’s instinctive rebuttal of the constrains of composition and arrangement. Unified by an allegiance to spontaneous creation and driven by nature as the framework for their work, this project features Sara’s yoiks, which, from her perspective, are rebellious acts against longterm oppression — “it was never intended for my culture to survive … I am writing history every day”. Combined with the folk duo’s powerful soundscapes, they create unfamiliarities that console and disquiet, but above all offer their listener an alternate place to exist, a space of connection that transcends culture.  Somewhere beyond and within a shared fight to hold on to, or to regain, nature, this musical landscape emerged —  Sara’s fight for Sami culture, and for the natural space for her reindeer-herding lifestyle, finds a shared border with Adam and Murray’s musical yearning for a real connection with nature.
