On April 13, House of Sweden is hosting a performance by Sofia Jannok. Coming from the north of Sweden, Sofia writes most of her lyrics in Sami, her native language, mixing jazz, pop and yoik influences. In case you're wondering, yoik is a traditional Sami form of song that's very hard to describe in just a few words, except maybe as chanting. The show starts at 7:30 PM with doors at 6:45 PM. Tickets are $10 at the door, and you can reserve a seat by e-mailing houseofsweden (at) foreign.ministry.se.
