Joik is a new thing for me, and i have to say that i feel that it is both beautiful and amazing to watch these people do it. at the same time, the amount of emotion they put into it can make them look and sound really funny. i love it, thank god for joik.
There is a lot of magic and power in joik. Many years ago I did some Mongolian overtone chanting and passed into an altered state of consciousness. I had vision of myself in Tundra and when I opened my mouth, the bark of a reindeer was emitted. A herd of reindeer came and nuzzled me and welcomed me into their herd. Later I dreamed of being brought down in the snow by wolves. It was many years later I discovered my maternal genetic heritage was Sámi. Now I am very proud of my Sámi blood.
Being a personal good lawyerfriend of Mr Somby I must state this fact: This song is performed as a sami singing and teelling tradition called joik, and this particular song/joik is a tribute to the animal wolf. Its a strong, smart animal to whoom sami people always have shown great fear and respect. Ande performes this joik very strongly and impressive in a wolf-way...
Wow, crazy/. I wish I understood the story he was telling with that wolf song. Was he turning into a werewolf and then back into a man? Was he watching his family grow then become old and die?
@MauiBoyTrav I think along the same lines.. The wolf maturing into a fierce animal and then slowly withering away, like most things in nature. Life cycle stuff.
I saw Professor Somby joik the wolf years ago at Nusultan Tuliakbaj's house in Tashkent. I have never seen such a performance. He actually turned into the wolf and ate my soul.
To all you funny persons making joke of this guy: He is today working as a professor at a Norwegian Law school, having a phd degree in law and is not only a fantastic human but moreover a real soul of good art...And i love the sami people by the way...
And he is actually going to perform in Malcolm Mclaren's funeral (founder of Sex Pistols and "the father of punk"). Mclaren's son and Vivienne Westwood asked him personally to do this.....
lucky guy...good for him that he's in law school, he'll have money in his life. his children will not go without. but one thing about modern (young) people, is that they will mock the serious and what cannot be understood. it's just fun, it's nothing personal. and to you, sir, i bid you; loy loy loy nanoy.
I saw Professor Somby joik the wolf at a conference in San Francisco. It was one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen. When you joik something, you don't sing about it; you call it forth into existence. He became the wolf, like a shape-shifter. I'll never forget that moment. It was awe-inspiring.
yeah its ok to laugh because hes white.. but what if he was some native african guy singing and playing some drums that would be racism if you laughed, yeah.
I don't know what happened to your original comment, but you should show respect for other people's culture. You may not like this joik, but that does not give you the right to be disrespectful.
What a treat it was to find Ande Somby performing his most famous yoik. I'm sorry the sound quality isn't better. When was this video shot? He looks much younger than when I last saw him.
Joik associated with the Saami. I have some Saami heritage actually that was kept hidden until recently. I just don't understand why they hid it> I am trying to find more stuff on the Saami but it has been hard. Thanks so much for posting.
