Beautiful, moving music and superb images

Miksi Suomen kouluissa ei opeteta mitään Venäjän alueen Suomensukuisista kansoista? Ikäänkuin se olisi jokin salaisuus.

[kaikkinimetvarattu2]

@Faravid666 Eipä taida mansit kuulua suomensukuisiin kansoihin jos pilkkua ruvetaan viilaamaan. Äidinkielen tuntien yhteydessä kyllä käsitellään uralilaiset kielet, johon siis mansin kieli kuuluu. Eli kyllä ne nykyään ainakin mainitaan.

Fantastic instrument! Are there any more videos or mp3s on the internet? Or stuff played on similar instruments by Khanty or Selkup musicians?

[nurlanbek225]

You can find two other youtube videos featuring this instrument: Khanty-Mansy dances and songs, Kurinka - the Mansi dance. If you click "more info" you can find the link where I took this music from, and here you can listen to some Khanty music (thir language and culture are very similar to the Mansi) played on a very similar instrument, too.

[nurlanbek225]

And you can buy "The Music of the Eastern Khanty" CD, there is no sangkvyltap music on that CD, but a 9-string harp and a 1-string "violin", jew's harp, drum and vocals. I don't think the Selkups use similar instruments.

[IRSummer]

The CD "Music of the Eastern Khanty" has a song (track 4) accompanied on the naras-juk, which is basically the same instrument as the Mansi sangkultap. A very small photo is provided. I think this is probably a modern instrument with no "hole" by the tuning pegs.

[vikingtimbo]

Thanks for the links nurlanbek! The Selkups had the same instrument, which they call something like 'penqe' (which is also their word for the witch drums used by their shamans).

[nurlanbek225]

Sorry, i didnt know that, well I'm not an expert on the topic. I surfed the net, and found this "Southern Selkups had a seven stringed musical instrument called lebed (swan). Northern Selkups only musical instrument was shamans tambourine." Perhaps it is some Khanty influence, the khants and the southern selkups are neighbours.

[vikingtimbo]

I think you're right, it's probably an influence from their Ugrian neighbours. I wonder how these instruments are related to the Russian Gusli and the Finnish kantele? The earliest kanteles might've looked just like the sangkvyltap.

[IRSummer]

Following from my previous comment -- the CD "Handi Hullus" by Ro Toro includes some field recordings of Khanty musicians, including a very short section that may be the naras-juk (but perhaps it is on the harp, I'm not sure).
