Band members
Current member Greenland has been one of the most productive countries when it comes to music. With a population of only 56000 people and in a period since the 70s there’s been released more than 500 albums mainly through the two biggest labels; ULO and Atlantic Music. Many artists have released different genres of music and here we mention the development and some of the stand outs in the music history, so of course there are many many more great released albums through the years that aren't mentioned but please see all that we have in stock here: CD shop The first instrument: Qilaat Before the colonization with European travelers, the frame drum was the main instrument that was used in Inuit societies. It was used in Inuit games but also in very important and festive events including both spiritual and competing rituals. It was therefore both used for entertainment but could also be used for battles between two Inuit. Qilaat is the Greenlandic name for the frame drum and the performers are called drum dancers and could both involve making grimaces, dancing and playing the Greenlandic rock band Sumé (meaning "where?" in Greenlandic) was a Greenlandic rock band considered the pioneers of Greenlandic rock music. They were formed in 1972 by singer, guitarist and composer Malik Høegh (born 1952), and guitarist, singer and composer Per Berthelsen. Their first record Sumut ("where to?") was released in 1973 on the Danish Demos label and was purchased by 20 percent of the Greenlandic population, becoming an important part of the Greenlandic movement for cultural independence of Denmark.[1] The band was inspired by American rock, but sang in the Greenlandic language and their lyrics were progressive and critical of the Danish colonial power. In the song "Nunaqarfiit" they sang "It is time to live again as Inuit and not as Westerners". The cover of the 1973 record Sumut showed a reproduction of a 19th-century woodcut by Aron of Kangeq depicting an Inuit hunter killing a Norseman.[2] The band was dissolved in 1977 but they still perform occasionally, and in 1994 they released the record Persersume ("Snowdrift")
