Amina Iceland Tv Performance

[P0rkCh0pSlim]

Best 30 minutes of my life

[Rouxxars]

So happy to find a video of Amiina, this is GREAT. So relaxing. Gonna buy their albums right now.

[ZornSabreLing]

I wish they'd play music like this on local TV shows in my country -__-

[Rouxxars]

@ZornSabreLing

I do agree. All we have today on TV is crappy pop music, rnb and rap, if we can call that music at all...

[AndyHarglesis]

No roids? LOL.

[onurb3]

whats the instrument at 10:04 ??

[ronnysoeberg]

@onurb3 Not sure what they're called in english, but they are basically what's inside a music box. Only this one is played with what looks like a punchcard, letting them punch out the notes they need. I'm almost certain it's something either they built, or had built for them. I could very well be wrong, though.

[ronnysoeberg]

@onurb3 Actually, I just did a google search for Punch Card Music Box. First hit, there it was :) Tempted to buy one now.

[SkankinLozer]

wish they played sexfaldur.

[aranyanis]

i love amiina! icelandic is such a cool language. and when icelandic people speak english it's the best accent!

[phoenix3brian]

That saw is magical. =]

[phoenix3brian]

I love the saw!! This is really cool. I love this cd.

[pumafzi]

Excelente música de Amiina, saludos desde México

[theforsakenpiggies]

I have such a crush on all of them :3 they're just so cute and pretty. Just like their music.

[Hepanlol]

Yea I have a little crush on Maria, but I love Sigur Ros, so Kjartan is safe for now :P

[incuvixen86]

[Paperhouse81]

KORG has a variety of nice instruments. I have a Kaoss pad, and it is simply wonderful. Lali Puna, a German band with a Korean chick in it, also uses KORG instruments. And they're music is fantastic.

[capitangris]

Music from Pangea.

[pack1]

I can feel the connecting axis of the whole Eurasian culture through music. It sounds like old Aryan.

[pack1]

I can feel the connecting axis of the whole Eurasian culture through music. It sounds Japanese, celtic, scandinavian and tibetan at the same time.

[Jygri]

it's so dreamy. it's all so very pretty. come to Norway and play for me!

[t3t0m3d1n4]

Now I want to buy a big Handsaw

[Paperhouse81]

@t3t0m3d1n4 LMAO!

[WWEFREAK372]

icelandic nightmare

[hinatax24]

I even like hearing them talk. Their sounds are amazing.

[WWEFREAK372]

@hinatax24 ICLANDIC SLAM

[GrannysAttic1]

Outstanding stuff!! Keep it up, we have bought all this group's available cd,s

[FabMike]

iceland - only broke on money

[breno2342]

I wonder if anyone has ever had the saw slap them in the face!

[sleeplessinizmir]

amazing, far more better than coco rosie,i love icelandic bands

[ebgrisi]

what is that thing shes holding?

[McVespa]

@ebgrisi Its a hand saw. I play it myself when im bored =) Go Iceland! Love from Norway

[dannarwill]

26 people have no taste in music.

[fremmed1]

This is the kind of women you want to hang out with and get to know, if you know what i mean:)

[Francesko263]

It sounds like swedish/norwegian.

[pattyluss]

These wonderful ladies also play with, (when they were still together), Sigur Ros. Iceland has produced some wonderful musicians.

[theMuranosBand]

@pattyluss Sigur Ros is still a band making music. Did the ladies split from Sigur Ros though?

[UberGut]

[tomazzin]

island life creates great people and great communities... UK, Iceland, Cuba, Australia... I wish I could live in an nice island

[1boombooms]

I mean I saw these girls play live in new Zealand......

[1boombooms]

I say these girls live in new Zealand about 5 years ago. They opened for Sigur Ros. It was the most exquisite experience of my life in music. Both bands have had such an impact on my life and my art

[Brafmah]

@1boombooms I saw them too in NZ, I hope to see them in my home country now Brazil, sigur ros came once about 9 years a go. I like NZ bands too!!

[Joshy51112]

This is cool.

[Meathead36]

nice to see a country where the women don't turn into fat pigs by the time they are 30. Is it too much to ask that a women take care of her body here in north america?

[TheWarbirdPhoenix]

Now that's talent.

[werty3535]

The girl who starts at the xylophone in this video I always find her to be the prettiest girl in the world

[gustindesser]

@werty3535

I agree. She is so cute....

[peaceall43650]

@werty3535 that girl is María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir and is married to Kjartan "Kjarri" Sveinsson of Sigur Rós.

[Ghettofarmerboy]

@werty3535 its a glockenspiel not a xylophone but yes i agree. you should see her at 26:23...does a movin' and a smile. haha

[MissBrittanyAnne]

@werty3535 And she's married to Kjartan of Sigur Ros!

[w3cing]

@werty3535 I would suggest you watch the movie Heima... Though it's about Sigur Rós, you could see her very clearly!

[takataminna]

Amiina is wonderful! Poor cute Iceland. How dare this global crisis put you in such bad financial situation! Destiny is so unkind towards beautiful things ;(

[DarkAngelEU]

@takataminna not destiny, mankind is ;(

[Ma007rk]

@takataminna

Bad financial situation? Could you elaborate?

[GoZebraGo]

@takataminna I know. Poor iceland. My husband and i were recently talking about how it would be sooo amazing to live there. just teach and live there with some gardens and a cottage..ho hum.. maybe its meant to be maybe not.

[quisquefaber88]

@tadge72 how do you say that?

[Cathye3]

How very unusual, their insturments, seems the Icelanders

are a creative bunch of people. Not too crazy about the tune

though,

[me700gnomes]

that LL sound is just plain silly

[rabbitpi]

@me700gnomes That's Welsh, not Icelandic, dope.

[me700gnomes]

@rabbitpi oh not really

[supercooled]

Sounds like Galic or something Hollywood contrived like that. I think languages like this that require so many tongue twirls for a lack of better term sounds pretty fantastic. I only speak English and Chinese (a few variant) so this to me sounds pretty awesome.

[amoeboy]

i love love love you amiina!! all of you and all of your music!! may great bliss come upon thee always!

[aguidetorecognizing]

Terrifying

[msonico]

que bonito

[odahijo]

what is the name of the instrument (music box) at 07:40 ?

any1 knows any manufacturer for this one ? ?

" amiina for life..cheer :) "

[miamad]

ERECTION SATISFIED!!

[calvaryhill42534]

aww this is also off one of the movies from there! brudguminn <3

[ciudaddenadie]

AWESOME!! beautiful, I´m in love with them!! WOOOW!!!

[elementz1986]

Why are Icelandic people so quirky and creative? There is a disproportionate amount of artists who come out of that country.

[MissMartin81]

@elementz1986 I've asked the same question many times!!! The fact that music like this is being broadcast on television over there, whereas here (UK) we have endless talent shows etc may have something to do with it?

[ILikeDjentlemen]

what is the second song they play called?

[RebeccaKiddo]

this sounds nice for my terrible headache right now...

[EnBrazosDeLaFiebre]

WHERE CAN I BUY A MUSICAL SAW? omg ;_;

[thrunobulax1]

@EnBrazosDeLaFiebre

in a musical hardware store

[Sindrijo]

@thrunobulax1 @EnBrazosDeLaFiebre

Yep, that's where I got my musical sanding machine.

:D

[Lompebroed]

@EnBrazosDeLaFiebre In your local hardware store.

[keesurt]

I'm going to iceland next year ( I hope I/we can afford it) can't wait! very good music

[teandcookies]

I've been watching Italian movies for a while and there's a lot of

difficult words in there. Sometimes I try to understand something and its

hard. Sometimes you can get a general idea about what they're saying

My mother language is Spanish btw, I speak fluent english because they

practically put it into my mouth almost like an obligation, because it's

usefull to speak with other people from different parts of the world.

Besides, it isn't that hard to learn, isn't it?

Beautiful Music, btw.

[countdechristo]

@teandcookies

The band is Icelandic and the interview is in Icelandic.. ...Where does Italian come into this? Just curious.

[countdechristo]

@teandcookies 

[Rifou812]

I am amazed. Almost seems like a total experiment in sound and mixture of single harmonies. Quite the unique and vibrant culture, language, and music Iceland has.

[echoes2224]

this is going to make me fall asleep it's so calm i love it

[Shadowplaytime]

No doubt, the future of alternative and contemporary music surely goes through Iceland and other Scandinavian countries as Sweden, only to name a couple.

Amazing work here, true genius!

[irenakolek]

wonderful....

[piney10]

i saw them live before i knew a lot about them as an opener for sigur ros. i love their music now. i thought they were all so young up there on stage but i found out later they're in their late 20s/early 30s at least. that blew me away more than the music did, they're so beautiful! also, the bells part is fascinating!

[alexanderrobson]

why does the lady in pink look like shes strangling some flamingos?!

[iAtomicHaze]

soooooo amazing i wub you guys with jonsi

[backrack01]

great stuff kyole..thanks.

[Arabelladarcy]

This language sounds beautiful

[modernirishmobster]

Thank you for posting this! Now I can share the love of their music over here in the states. :)

[SEOtutoriales]

@ShaaRhee im not sure but i think is before september 2007......check online.

[sshake0appeal]

one of the coolest bands ive ever seen

[godfailme]

awesome¡¡¡

stiils really amazing

but i still like a lot sigu ros¡

[SEOtutoriales]

she got a 30 min video on youtube because his/her account was created before 2007

[ShaaRhee]

my account was vreated before 2007 too, but i cant upload videos longer than 10 minutes, how come? :)

[UponInfinity]

@ShaaRhee Well, the video was uploaded before then.

[notblondeswede]

26:22 - 26:23

:):)

[leinibj]

Fjarskanistan? from self titled? no? also, i think its prerecorded. identical to the recording, sound not matching the players. probably some bogus icelandic tv crap. they definitely played what i heard when i saw them in concert.

[GGiedrius]

Can any1 put English subtitles Im too lasy to learn Iclandic

[Brien182]

that's understandable. It's considered the hardest language in the world.

[leccate]

@Brien182 maybe after the finnish

[Brien182]

@leccate i think i have read that finnish is a bit hard. never know until you try it i guess

[leccate]

@Brien182 Finnish is gramatically harder :s

[Brien182]

@leccate I've never looked into it. I know English is a little backwards from the rest of the languages and sometimes it can be a real struggle, because frankly, there's so many words. I guess i have no sense of pride because Spanish is considered so easy, but it's always good to know when you're in the west. Is Finish a branch of old German like Swedish and Icelandic (I assume).

[leccate]

@Brien182 no finnish is a ugro-finnic langage is absolutely different from germanic languages! I'm italian and is so funny listen japanese or english say words like ROMAGNA, SOGLIOLA hahahaha because they haven't the GL and GN pronunce. Russian can spell better this words because they have GL and GN in his language! hihihi

[Brien182]

@leccate I see. I too suffer from not having the ability to pronounce those. Although, from Spanish there are the sounds such as "RR" (rolled tongue), and sometimes "J" (like in the word 'hijo') - I don't know how to explain to make the sound). But the downside is we don't use the "SH' sound, but its quite easy to learn. In my opinion, Chinese have a hard time speaking anything not of their origin. especially words with L's and R's because they have a rounder sound.

[leccate]

@Brien182 yesss!!! spanish is more easy to speak for an italian than a swedish hihi are similar languages. Btw i know what you mean with "J" i watch the LIGA and i hear when the players say Hijo de P...hahahahahahha so i know how to read "J"

[Brien182]

@leccate exactly. and german is more easy to speak for a swedish. some people swear they can understand half of italian just because they speak spanish, i guess im not like that. but yes, the J makess a hard sound in the back of the throat i guess would be the simplest way to explain it.

[rrreeezzz]

@Brien182 My mother tongue is Spanish and I been living in Italy for 3 year now, I have to say that understanding Italian (after a little practice) is easy since we share a lot of words, but speaking italian correctly is hard because we tend to mix spanish and Italian, the irony is that the same similarity does not allow us to speak it correctly :(

[Brien182]

@rrreeezzz The only Italian i've ever heard was in the Godfather movie, and i was surprised at how much i understood. I never knew the two languages were that closely related. speaking Italian is very hard if you speak spanish and are trying to learn it yourself. The accent gets me too. I've never heard an accent from spain. I guess to simply put it is that to mexicans, all of the other spanish accents sound like what British and Australian accents sound to Englishmen.

[WojciechSz]

@Brien182, I guess you've never heard Polish, Hungarian or Finnish. Icelandic is a Germanic language, it's a piece of cake compared to Ugro-Finnic languages and Polish, which is definitely the hardest and most complex Slavic and Indo-European language.

BTW, Icelandic is the most beautiful language in the world. :)

[Brien182]

@WojciechSz It's the most beautiful language in the world to people of that region. To people in the Americas it sounds pure crazy. Spanish is the most beautiful language around here ;). Very sexy sounding. English speakers find it VERY attractive, which makes us laugh.

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

@WojciechSz it is a nice language but it is a VERY hard language to learn.

[WojciechSz]

As I have already said, if Icelandic is very difficult, then how difficult is my native Polish? For people who speak English as their native language nearly all languages seem to be hard to learn, because English is a very easy and gramatically simple language with non-phonetic spelling. So first they have learn about some grammar stuff like cases etc. which is completely foreign to them, but obvious and natural to 90% of other nations. They have less motivation, as English is so widely spoken.

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

@WojciechSz yeah it just depends if you're willing to learn. and actually English in terms of grammatical rules isn't that easy, it does have a few exceptions and different rules. it's only easy if you're fluent in it. I didn't learn English first so it wasn't that easy. I was born speaking Spanish which is a very easy language to learn if you're willing.

[zsofielmult18]

@WojciechSz it's just plain stupid. None of the languages are "simplified grammatically". As you are not a native speaker, you may use a simplified version of the language. This makes only you simple, not English.

[Sindrijo]

@WojciechSz

I have a finnish friend, she lives in Finland but doesn't really speak Finnish. She just speaks Swedish, which is a bit saddening to me, because then I would be able to learn so many words.

The only word she taught me was:

"Kippits" (sp?) It's like "cheers" before you drink.

I'm glad you like my native tongue fellow youtuber :)

[Jimwalker2008]

I think the second track is called 'Boga' and is the last track on their album called 'Kurr'

[MrOctobery]

I ♥ Ammælis @ 26:18

[leesawford]

[TheEthersTragic]

Wow how beautiful is this! So incredibly creative and ethereal. Amazing..

[kimmdale]

[syzahgee]

I'm not Icelandic, but I'm always cold. Wife never turns up the heat.

[macnos]

@syzahgee You need to lay down the law in your house. It might get you divorced but it must be done.

[Ghettofarmerboy]

[arrozconhuesitos01]

Its name is Ammaelis

[Ghettofarmerboy]

[MatthewCarsonRhodes]

[112ddd211]

super video, iceland = cool

[tundrasheep]

Why does Iceland continue to kill whales?

-They do it in a pathetic attempt to hold onto the past so that they can continue to identify with their bloody legacy of whaling

-It is a blood sport to them and a way of indulging in the sadistic pleasure of killing whales and thumbing their noses at other nations.

-Killing whales is the pursuit of little people with small minds with a lust to destroy creatures more intelligent and more beautiful than themselves.

[112ddd211]

i love whales too

[spurious]

More intelligent and beautiful than themselves?

That crosses the line of idiocy.
