Musical style
In her music, she takes inspiration from the traditional Northern Saami yoiks, combining them with pop and other genres to create her own style of music. Balto has been described as one of the trailblazers in a new generation of musicians from Sápmi who preserve the Saami musical tradition at the same time they are taking it in new directions.
