Riddu Riđđu-throughout the year!

Throughout the year many people are working to realize the festival. 

When Riddu Riđđu in 2009 was designated as a National festival it became a year-round festival. This means that we can work for indigenous people through the whole year.

To maintain our status as the a  international scene for indigenous art we need a network of contacts from all the world. Riddu Riđđu is invited to many of the largest international Indigenous festivals in the world. Our mission is to help  Sámi artists and performers to play at indigenous scenes in the whole world. 

Oslo World Music Festival is one of the most important world music festivals in Europe and we are very happy to cooperate with them. To Oslo World we have presented artists like Adjágas, Niko Valkeapää and arranged joik conversation with three generations Gaup, led by Ánte Mihkkal Gaup. 

Riddu Riđđu, Center for Northern people and the Russian indigenous organization CAFF annually helds a concert in Russia. We have presented artist as Mari Boine, Skáidi, dance performances Jorggáhallan (Elle Sofe Henriksen and Semen Bolshunov) and the band Adjágas. They had concerts in the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg. We also present Sámi artistsat indigenous festivals in Russia, Arctic Taimyr festival and Alhalalay festival in Kamchatka.
