Karin Höghielm is a singer-songwriter from Gotland Island, Sweden.
Her music is a fusion of ancient Nordic music and modern experimental sound structure. Höghielm has a stunning voice, comparable in places to Lisa Gerrard, and she uses it to full effect, singing not only in her native Gotlandish but also in Latin and a form of wordless mouth music that is reminiscent of Tuvan throat singing... Aspects of seemingly disparate styles such as Arabic and Indian music are in evidence throughout, giving credence to the theory that all of the planets music is rooted in single pool of sound.
Her debut album, Apocryphal, was released in 1999. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
