JÖRGEN STENBERG (Sápmi)
Jörgen Stenberg is a Ume Sámi reindeer herder and joik singer from Malå, Sweden. For Jörgen, the joik is the very foundation of all music – a carrier of identity, history, and emotion, and a living tradition that still has much to offer today.
In 2013, he released an album centered around joik, collaborating with musicians such as Nils Andersson and Jonas Knutsson. The album marked an important step in the promotion of Ume Sámi joik and demonstrated how traditional vocals and modern accompaniment can meet in a powerful and expressive musical landscape. Jörgen Stenberg has won the joik category of the Sámi Grand Prix twice – in 2024 and 2022!
Jörgen’s joik is deeply rooted in the reindeer herding culture and the Ume Sámi language, and his performances reflect a profound connection to the nature, people, and stories of his home region. Through his voice, he builds bridges between past and present – and between tradition and renewal.
