Just thought I'd say hi. Listened to the song that one of the previous posters uploaded, and I was wondering if anyone has a translation or transcription of the lyrics, etc. I'd be curious to see a written representation of what I'm hearing, since there are some rather interesting sounds being sung ( Read more... )

I've finally gotten around to uploading one of Tupaarnaq's songs. It's called Hingitat, and you can download it by right clicking here -> and choosing to "save target as."

PS. Thanks to rube for helping me to convert this file to mp3 :)

Here are some pictures from Tuppaarnaq's Summer Tour. For those of you who don't know who she is, she's a former member of the group Zedna (Julie Berthelsen used to be in it as well.) I prefer her music over Julie's, mainly because her songs are more influenced by rock and traditional Greenlandic music, as opposed to pop.

The other day, I received two Greenlandic CDs... and I have yet to hear them. One is a Julie Berthelsen CD Single "Kalaallit Nunaat Pillugu" and a full length album by Tupaarnaq, entitled "Illit". I doubt I'll like the music, but the fact that they are in Greenlandic is really awesome.

Hello! I'm not a Greenlander, or even a Dane, but an American woman, married to a Dane, who made many Greenlandic friends while I was at the Sproghøjskole på Kalø. I'll be seeing them again on the 28th of May; if you'd like, I could make some cards with the URL for this community and hand them out to them.

Inuugujoq, kutaa! I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I updated the info section with a bunch of Kalaallit Nunaat related links that are definately worth your time. If anyone here knows of any more links that I could add, please don't hesitate to tell me.
Qujanarsuaq,
