Sami Siberian shamanic music 1.

[workatthefarm]

I can hear people giggling in the audience and someone going *SSHHHHH!*

Bullroarerers were used all over the globe for such purposes. They have been found in the British Isles, Scandinavia, and all over Europe as well.

Was this performed at the University of Oslo ISS, by any chance...?

[WolfShaman777]

Excellent, absolutely excellent. Takes me back in time, to when the sacred was more easily appreciated. Happy to see a revival in the modern era :)

[jcpelly]

I knew it could be done!! Is it weird that I was creating this music long before I ever heard this? When I was younger I wanted to create a didgeridoo sound with my throat and I had a tube thing like that and i used to make music similar to this. Ps I Iknow Im a little different. :]

[GamenightPL]

i dont know what its called in finland or siberia, but in canada that frame drum is called a Qilaut.

[webwolf404]

its a shame someone kept shushing in the beginning of the video...great video though!

[DoyenOfDestruction]

It's a bullroarer

[Violett74]

There are many Sami tribes in Northern Russia too! I am swedish, from the far north, I know for sure.

@Violett74 Do you know anything about the people of Enontekio and Kittilä in the 18th and 19th centuries... I have ancestors from there in that time period but I've yet to figure out if they were Sami or Finns. I've tried to ask some of the people who live there now, but the Indo-European/Uralic language barrier got in the way.

churinga, tjuringa, wartkotka

[MrSheliak]

What is the instrument he is playing with ?

[ap0stm0dernist]

@MrSheliak that's a piece of rubber wire insulation. I'm serious, he was asked about that after the performance. And then shamanic tambourine of some sort.

[MrSheliak]

@ap0stm0dernist

Thanks for quick info :-)

Similar instrument can be made of plastic corrugate wire tubing - it can be used by the way as the shaman in this video does, but one can blow into it; depending on blow strength one can obtain a series of harmonics !!! (I have tried it myself, it works !!!)

The drum resembles me a bodhran or similar drum.

[MrSheliak]

@ap0stm0dernist You are right. Probably it is flexible plastic hose for cable mounting . You can also make sounds by blowing into it - these sound are in harmonic series.

[Apollodorosh]

@MrSheliak The use suggests that it is similar in function to a Hellenic "rhombos", rhombus-shaped wooden object on a rope sometimes used at the beginning of rituals. Similar instruments exist in many cultures :-)

[MrSheliak]

@Apollodorosh This is also the bullroarer used by Aboriginal people.

[nordicpower88]

The Sami are not from Siberia....

[IdelUralState]

@nordicpower88

1. Educate yourself

2. All Peoples desendant from the Altai

[nordicpower88]

@IdelUralState Educate myself on what?

[yaoilover20]

@IdelUralState Sami people aren't from Siberia, their roots are, but if you're thinking about where they are living nowadays, then in Northern Scandinavia and Finland.

[ap0stm0dernist]

No, Torgeir Vassvik - the performer - emphasized that he's a showman, not a shaman :)

[shautora]

@ap0stm0dernist Ah, ok thanks! It seemed a bit sketchy, but just wanted to be sure, ya?

[shautora]

So this is a real Sami shaman?

[DAKPLAT]

@shautora not isn´t, he is a showman..!
