Jarmo ́s kjøkken/ Jarmo ́s kitchen/ Jarmo gievkkan- -“will cook both your soup and your head!”

Salmon fisher Jarmo has received help from Ungkarsklubben (the Bachelors’ Club) when he’s opening a Pop-Up Restaurant at Riddu Riđđu to advertise his new restaurant in Utsjok. Jarmo has said that Riddu Riđđu is what’s happening, and the boys have all kinds of expectations. There is a rumor that Jarmo has hired an international chef… pure entertainment or the real deal? “Were you born that way, or did you become that way?” In a seemingly humorous and casual setting, there’s the opportunity to raise grand political questions, let in on secrets, gossip and make confessions. A session infused with dance and music – and salmon soup.

Idja - Sámi Club Night is an established club concept arranged by Oslove Noereh in cooperation with The Norwegian Hub for Traditional Music and Dance. Idja at Riddu Riđđu is a gathering where one gets to experience the hottest indigenous artists. Idja promises good vibes and epic beats with among others Alaska Native artist, AKU-MATU.
