The Sami band Ánnásuolo was started by John-Kåre Hansen in 2016. The eponymous debut album was released in 2017 followed by Muohtačalmmit -Snowflakes, in 2019. Since the beginning the band has experienced a couple of lineup-changes originally starting out with lead singer Marianne Pentha and drummer Jakop Janssønn.
