Description
Andreas Fliflet lives at the edge of the world. He records his music in his studio in a small town in Norway that's 600 miles north of the Arctic circle, overlooking the Arctic sea. His band Jienat just released a new album called Mira, which is filled with music inspired by the region's traditional nomadic herders, known as the Sami.
Host Peggy Wehmeyer spoke with Fliflet about his music and inspiration.
