Kind of reminds me of the Scottish waulking songs.. horo hu o horo hu o. O ho hu o eile le ho ro. Horo Hu-o mo. Very similar but different… and reindeer are in Scotland too. I feel like this is a very very ancient connection. This is very beautiful Sami singing. It’s a shame I only recently learned of the culture. So much more to learn.
I am indigenous person from the highland north luzon, we have somethibg similar to this singing and poetry sharing, i dnt know why i am crying to this..i cant explain. There is something..something deep. Thanknu for sharing
Absolutely beautiful! It made me cry. I saved it to my warrior music playlist because it was so strong and let me feel like listening to a nordic warrior song ❤ Wow!
Sami aren't exactly "nordic", though they live in Scandinavia and northern Russia they are a distinct cultural & linguistic group, much older than the countries which have claimed the lands Sami inhabit. It's a bit like calling Aboriginal music "Australian folk music". A joik also isn't a warrior's song, as the Sami aren't a warrior people, instead the song is adressed to a special place or someone :)
After many years in Finland, feel strongly to know it from a deeper perspective… had one time experience with this in a summer concert, at that time I am moved to cry….now I finally understand its history and meaning…
