Felgen Orkester plays folk-pop-rock and all of their songs are in Northern Sámi. Band members have a strong connection to nature and that’s why they get their inspiration from the Northern nature.
Some of Felgen’s songs are quite abstract and key to understanding them might be hidden in the Sámi nature.
Band likes to play lively and cheerful music and that’s why they have instruments like accordion and mandolin in their songs.
Felgen Orkesters most well-known songs are Beaivelottážat, Ferrari vuoján, Buolli dolla and Jovnna.
