[ashwinbhat123]

is this nordic music?

[EmmySweden92]

@ashwinbhat123 The Sami people are the arctic indigenous people inhabiting Sápmi, which today encompasses parts of far northern Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Kola Peninsula of Russia, but also in the border area between south and middle Sweden and Norway. This is their music which is called yoik which expresses emotions and memories trough the sound of your voice more than like the western music that uses words although a few words can occur in a yoik :)

Beautiful isn't is? :)

[frankknife1]

Love Saami music, specially Joik, I am full blood Lakota Sioux from the US. I dig all the voices. Music is similar ( almost the same ) as our Lakota songs. Come to Lakota country you are welcomed. Oh by the way we live in Tee Pees too. HHe.

[Latinsheep]

really cool!!!

[SvartNezmar]

Where can I find true overtone wild shamanic yoik?



[cACTIfARM]

@SvartNezmar Search for slayer, its a typical sami band

[SvartNezmar]

@cACTIfARM ???

[PuppyZwolle]

Amazing stuff. Shame though that there isn't more yoiking to be found on YT.

[bumbro07]

That was incredible!

I wish I could do that.

You know what? I am going to try.

World Class, man.

Shout out from Houston!

[Wumasi]

[Systalis]

Wow, I'm in awe... For not having a single word that is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I am envious of your talents, good sirs!

[TheJarner]

Im from Denmark but i really appriciate all original nordic music. Thanks for that!

[BeHeMoThIzBeSt1]

they actually arent saying anything. its called yoiking, they just make harmonic noises with their throats and it comes out to be a masterpiece like this lol

[HahaJubJub92]

[haltsmaulduarsch123]

sounds great,

can someone give me more links with music like this`?

[googlephi]

@haltsmaulduarsch123

Sofia Jannok's "Irene" and "Arvas" have yoik-flavored pop.

If you mean reedy chanting in general, you might also research "throat singing" (see Alash and Hun huur tu) and "canto a tenore" (see Tenores di Bitti).

[Myronalcheon]

Mycket vackert

[RainbowDemon]

I wanted to know what yoiking was and this was a perfect example for me. Thanks!

[samishjojk]

Jag älskar den! det är en bra jojk :)

[shuichifucker]

i cant find anywhere on internet how to joik. i wasnna learn it so badly

[frost420ptbo]

just do it. its more powerful when its your own joik

and to learn traditaional ones, dont forget about the "influence" the church had effectivly destroying the joik.....not alot of people know actualy traditional joiks....but check out wimme and adjagas

[shuichifucker]

ah thanks, man! but a joik is like singing with a lot of going up and down in key right? i guess i can do that! i can sing well in key so... ill try XD

[AnwendEihwaz]

frost420ptbo says it best: just do it.

I know where you are coming from, I have only recently experienced yoiking, but I just do my own thing, even if the singing is not great. :) It is still very moving if it comes from the heart.

There are some sites I know about Yoik usage and other Sámi traditions, if you would like the list message me.

[Flycka]

Hello, I would be interested in the website you mention.
