A successful rock band from Greenland? Yes, it's not a lie. In 1973, the Greenlandic Sumé released a debut album, which record time made it to all the households on the icy island. But Sumé's success was not just due to their catchy beat rock, but also to the band's ability to put words to the zeitgeist, where Greenlandic culture was slowly fading away.—anonymous
In the 1970s the Greenlandic rock band Sume released three albums that changed Greenland's history. They influenced an era, boosted the self-esteem of the Greenlandic people and motivated the political process of establishing Greenland's Home Rule Government. And the country's first uprising against the Danish colonial powers.
