Ulla Pirttijarvi - Hear The Sound of the Yoik (De Juoiggas)

Ulla Pirttijärvi is regarded as one of the finest artists from Sápmi (Samiland). The joik is the vocal form of the Sami people, native to the far northern Scandinavia. It's often relatively free-form, with few rules, a song to describe a thing, place, person almost anything. Ulla Pirttijärvis joik (recorded in her own home) is emotive and haunting.

This is the second track from "Mattarakhu Askai: In Our Foremothers". Pirttijarvi, once a member of the trio Angelin Tytot, has slowly unrolled a solo career (this album, "Mattarakhu Askai: In Our Foremothers" her second solo disc, comes five years after her first), but taking her time has proven to be a good thing.

@lenasvn Hmm, det er måske ikke så smart at holde det for sig selv. Hvis kunsten skulle uddø, eller blive meget indskrænket til nogle få steder, så ville det være godt at have noget på skrift. Hvad lærte du da du trænede i Norge? :)

@RavenofDenmark Dom är väldigt lika, ja. Tror inte utomstående känner till särskilt mycket om sejd, Samerna liksom Nordamerikanska Indianer håller sin andlighet mellan sig, då den anses kräva respekt och kunskap.

@lenasvn Sejt (cool) :b hvor meget kender man til den oprindelige samiske sejdkunst?

Angående nordisk sejdkunst, så ved vi desværre ikke ret meget, men nordboerne mente samerne og finerne også var sejddygtige, så de to former må have været ret ens. Ved at lære om den ene håber jeg at man kan lære om den anden ^^

@RavenofDenmark I am not, but relatives were married with Sami in North of Sweden. I actually went to training (Shamanism) for a Norwegian Shaman. :)
