Career
Sara Jr. was born and raised in Alta Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. He studied classical guitar at the Music Conservatory in Tromsø, as well as music pedagogics. He taught music at the Diehtosiida Sami University College in Kautokeino. Sara Jr. is the leader of Johan Sara Jr. Group, who released Ovcci vuomi ovtta veaiggis (1995). With a new line up (Geir Lysne wind instruments, Knut Aalefjær drums, Erik Halvorsen keyboards) came the release Boska (2003), with a musical expression described as punk-joik-jazz.[3] The next album is called Orvoš (2009) with the J. S. Jr. Group.[1][4]
The orchestra has toured internationally. In 2010 he visited Japan, where he played in Osaka and Tokyo, and held a total of four concerts.[5] In the summer of 2011 he played the Roskilde Festival with, among others, Terje Johannessen.[6][7][8]
The same year he was awarded the Edvard Prize 2011, from TONO, for the album Transmission – Rievdadus in open class under Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival.[9] The Jury Rationale states "soundscape of natural sounds, voices, breathing and occasional heavy rhythms fuse into exciting music. It is unpredictable, Johan Sara Jr invites us on a journey, and we want to follow. From the minimalist to the great epic, all rooted in something we can all recognize ourselves in – namely, our roots."[citation needed]
Sara Jr. has also written music for radio and theater, most recently for the Hålogaland Teater (Idag og i morgen, 2005).[citation needed]
Awards and honors
In 2001, Sara received the Áillohaš Music Award, a Sámi music award conferred by Kautokeino Municipality and the Kautokeino Sámi Association to honor the significant contributions the recipient or recipients has made to the diverse world of Sámi music.[10][11]
In 2010, he won the Edvard-prisen in the open class category for his album Transmission – Rievdadus.
