They were formed in 1972 around the singer, guitarist and composerMalik Høegh (born 1952), and guitarist, singer and composer Per Berthelsen. Their first record Sumut “where to?” was released in 1973 on the Greenlandic ULO label and was purchased by 20 percent of the Greenlandic population becoming an important part of the Greenlandic movement for cultural independence of Denmark.[1] The band was inspired by American rock, but sang in the Greenlandic language and their lyrics were progressive and critical of the Danish colonial power. In the song Nunaqarfiit they sang “It is time to live again as Inuit and not as Westerners”. The cover of the 1973 record Sumut showed a reproduction of a 19th-century woodcut by Aron of Kangeqdepicting an Inuit hunter killing a Danish trader.[2]
