The Sea Sami identity has always been a natural part of Herman's artistic work. With Manne he takes a deep dive into his own background where melodies inspired by traditional joik and Sea Sami hymns are combined with a modern musical landscape. The Arctic Philharmonic and a star-studded cast of northern Norwegian artists and musicians will be performing.

Many will remember Herman Rundberg from Kåfjord as one of the members of Violet Road, but the solo project Manne started seven years ago. Rundberg has previously won the Amanda Prize for the film score to the Kautokeino uprising, composed music for the Norwegian Opera & Ballet and the Nobel Peace Prize, and toured both land and sea as a former member of Violet Road and Alit Boazu.
