Vallåtar från gammelboning (Swedish kulning)

This is the old way of herding live stock (in the middle of north Sweden) and of communication between herding women on mountains and between them and the home places down in the valley. This was a way of for instance crying for help, telling the family that a sheep had gone missing or crying for the hearding women to come home. It's called 'kulning' and the song is a part of Susanne Rosenbergs 'Vallåtar från gammelboning' (herding songs from the old home place) and can also be downloaded for free at her page. Please excuse my bad skills at making videos out of mp3's. ;)
This time it's all about the sound!

vad heter de som sjunger?

[manwithemeraldeyes]

Susanne Rosenberg heter hon som leder det hela tror jag. Jag hittade det här klippet på en sida som hon hade tidigare, men som jag inte sett på ett tag. Hon håller kurser i kulning bl.a.

my goats are walking through the forest

putting knee against knee

my goats are walking through the forest

putting knee against knee

our maids and our boys

are gnawing the bark off of tree

our maids and our boys

are gnawing the bark off of tree

This is quite amazing and haunting. It takes you back in time. It makes me think of the vasc country where I come from and it´s green deep forests. The second song is impresive too. Thanks for posting
