The geography of "CircumPolar" is a bit challenging: surely Saami and Inuit are in, and some of Siberia... but is Tuva in (because, say, of shamanic traditions shared with more northerly Siberian peoples) or out (because too far south?). And I certainly would like to make the case for Iceland and Finland and Sweden and Norway, but a lot of those musics are southward-pointing.
One basis for defining the CircumPolar province (and I'm only half joking...) might be to go with an epidemiological definition and include any area where Seasonal Affective Disorder is a serious problem.

MISHA MALTSEV aka DJ NOMAD, DJ ARTLESS Journalist, DJ zurück zu TranceSiberiaMisha Maltsev is very keen to connect his far outpost of humanity to the rest of the world. He is the guiding pen behind the free all-music-all-concept fanzine Nomad, lone DJ on the local Yakutsk radio with his show Oasis devoted "to the ecelctica of music with in-depth coverage to distribute cultural viruses", organiser of multi-media art happening Indikator and a central figure in the annual Tabyk music festival held (almost) every December in the capital, Yakutsk. Misha and everyone working at Tabyk/Nomad act as the only contact for North-Siberian and far-eastern folk music activities in the world. By the way, that's far-eastern in the Russian sense, meaning Kamchatka and beyond, not the beautiful balmy Bali or ordinary old Osaka...IF Tuva is "in" (and not too far south), then Sainkho Namtchlyak is an important addition
