Malik Høegh
Malik Høegh (born December 4, 1952 ) is a Greenlandic musician .
Life
Malik Høegh visited a friend in 1970 who was studying at Sorø Akademi . He got to know Per Berthelsen and both began to play music and founded the band Sumé in 1972, to which Emil Larsen and Hjalmar Dahl later joined. Aqqaluk Lynge had them perform in front of students in Copenhagen and they eventually became known to the public at the 1973 Roskilde Festival . The rock band became legendary in Greenland until 1977. For the first time non-traditional music originated in Greenland and the texts written by Malik Høegh strengthened the independence of the Greenlanders enormously, which resulted in the introduction of the Hjemmestyre in 1979 , which guaranteed Greenland more autonomy. It wasn't until 1989 that the band members met again and recorded a fourth record.
For his work, Malik Høegh received the Greenland Culture Prize in 1992, the Greenland Prize of the Koda Awards together with Per Berthelsen in 1995 and the Nersornaat in silver on June 22, 2018 .
