Tarrak Evolves His Sound with New “Pigalugu” Music Video

Tarrak (Josef Tarrak-Petrussen) raps in Kalaallisut, his native Greenlandic tongue. His artistry weaves storytelling with fierce anti-colonial activism that cuts deep.

Each track serves as a conceptual love letter to his people. The production? Dramatic doesn’t even begin to cover it—think orchestral grandeur meeting dark trap beats.

His latest drop, "Pigalugu," kicks off with this simple piano hook. Then it morphs into something… well, it just works. The groove sits perfectly beneath his message of hope and community spirit.

Emiilinnguaq Olsen, another Greenlandic creative, shot the accompanying visual. The video captures collective joy and that indescribable beauty unique to Greenland’s landscapes. It’s stunning, honestly.
