Elina Maria Katarina Barruk (born 5 December 1994) is a Swedish Sámi singer, songwriter and pianist, who sings in the Ume Sámi language, now spoken by less than a dozen native speakers.[1] She believes her songs will help to revitalize the language.[2] In September 2015, she released her first album, Báruos, and continues to perform in concerts inspired by traditional yoik music from the province of Västerbotten.[3][4]
