History

The Áillohaš Music Award was created in 1993 by the Norwegian Sámi Association, Kautokeino Municipality, and the Kautokeino Sámi Association.[4][5] It has been awarded every year since 1993, including 2020 even though the Sámi Easter Festival had been cancelled.[6] The recipient can be a Sámi musician or musicians, or a band.

The prize is awarded to honor the significant contributions the recipient or recipients has made to the diverse world of Sámi music.[7] The first recipient of this award was Mari Boine.[7][5][8] Over the years, quite a few of the most popular and famous Sámi musicians and bands have received this award, including Wimme, Sofia Jannok, Ulla Pirttijärvi-Länsman, and Frode Fjellheim have won the award.[5][9] The award is not limited to just traditional Northern Sámi yoikers. As such, a wide variety of different music genres has been represented, from the heavy yoik of Intrigue to the traditional Kildin Sámi luvvts collected, recorded, and performed by Domna Khomyuk.[10]
