Gabba – Etno-Espa

Gabba plays sami tundrablues and wants to show people that everyone loves the northern indigenous music, yoik!

With yoikmaster John André Eira at the wheel, they merge elements from americana, desert blues, folk music, jazz and hip hop with self-composed and traditional yoiks. The result is an innovative musical landscape that brings out the best of world music - along with modern musical forms. You can expect an authentic music experience full of youthful energy.
