This is stunningly beautiful.

esa musica es como un grito contra las resistências, una fuerza de libertad.

Not that I understand a word she is saying, but it feels like "This is what we are, and always will be, this is our land, and always will be".

By the way...National Geographic's November 2011 issue on reindeer herders brought me here to find out what "yoiking" is. From previous comments I'm not the only one that notices similarities in music throughout the world. I think that is terrific! The Saami people are beautiful and I'd love to visit the lands they are from and learn more. There is a draw to that part of the world and the shaman beliefs. Past lives, maybe, or genetic memories... : )

...wow...I LOVE THIS! The more indigenous music I listen to from around the world, the more similarities I hear. Parts remind me of my small Cherokee heritage, Tuvan throat singing (Huun Huur Tu), and pieces from other wonderful world music. Personally, it was great finding this on October 31st, summer's end, stock-taking and preparation for the cold winter months ahead. I think some Norse/Viking genes in my blood sing these songs, too! Awesome find and Thank You for posting!

@EyelessEntity So true if you love nature you'll love this music it touches every fibre of your body !!! Amazing!!! I just discovered it an hour ago, through a video of Ray Mears in Sweden and a woman was talking about the jojk. Music keeps surprising me every day. Greetings from Gent
bjiejjie = sun.
Today it is the Sami day in Sweden :) Perfect way to celebrate, listening to jojk. The Sami are older than the Swedes, but they were opressed when christianity came here...it is a shame.
The priests thought their jojk and drums could summon Satan, and some sami people stopped to jojk so that they wouldn't be shut out from society.
But the northern and eastern sami still use this beautiful tradition. I am not sami, but I love nature; therefore I love and respect them too.
