Jarŋŋa is a project that songwriter Mandy Senger and singer and jojkartist Katarina Rimpi created in 2008. Mandy and Katarina work with many different musicians and employ a variety of instrument combinations. The music is influenced by the traditional singing technique of the Sami people, known as jojk. The songs have been arranged with warm acoustic sounds. Jarŋŋa's music takes its inspiration from the Arctic nature: Wide open spaces, vast forests, snow-capped mountains, the glistening warm light of the midnight sun, cold starry nights with northern lights dancing in the sky. All lyrics are written in the Sami language that is spoken in the area around the Lule River. That particular language - Lule Sami - stands under threat of extinction. Today there are only a few native speakers left.
