Thank you for watching! p.s: Swedish music with English Subs is not easy to find. If you find videos with English Subs, there a higher chance that we will react to it. It's more convenient, but we will still also react to music without subs. Channel Membership: ru-vid.com/show-UCQsmCKwNbJS-GmCfFZ9i7Pgjoin Buymeacoffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/maxsujyreact
She sing traditional Swedish folkmusic and Jon-Henrik the other one you brought up, jojkar, a memory/story about his dead friend.. and jojk is traditional Sapmi song/jojk..
Jon Henrik Fjällgren that you played a bit of. He is singing jojk which is a style that probably is unique in Sweden and does not exist abywhere else. And it sounds great.
Jojk is typical for the Samii people of Sweden, Norway and Finland - traditionally sung a capella. Modern jojk does incorporate various contemporary instruments though. Here's a traditional jojk from Sweden (of course performed in the Samii language). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aPqKAuzo0tk.html
@@jenstornell You're welcome! I was raised 100 kilometres North of the Arctic circle - in the heart of Lapland - so I am very familiar with the Samii people and their culture.
This is traditional swedish music, but instead Sweden radio give more credit to gangsterap:( swedish voices are crisp, and we need to show more of this.
Dan Andersson is one of the most important Swedish poets. Took the great leap from 19 to 20 century, one of the first modern poets. He died far too young, barely 30, probably from poisonous gases used to kill lice in a hotel room, but which the hotel staff forgot to air out.
This style of violin-play is very common in Swedish folk music, It is so ingrained in our culture that Swedish television shows (about the countryside) will often play a short melody in this style. We also have a similar-but-different instrument called "Nyckelharpa" (literally key-harp) that produces a unique sound that is also heavily associated with Swedish folk music. Sounds a bit like a violin, but different.
The heart and soul in Swedish folk music is the melancholy and mellow melody that hits you straight in you as a Swede. We all know it from childhood to death and if you listen to Swedish modern music you often hear it in those songs to. ABBA often use the folk music as a base in the songs. Actually when I think about it you find the same tone and songs in folk songs from Canada sung I French.
There is a swedish singer-songwriter named Lisa Ekdahl that has a similar style, perhaps a little more jazzy. However, she was popular in France in the 1990s and onwards. (Yes, because I knew you were French.)
Skansen, lit. the Barbican, is an open-air museum in Stockholm; part zoo and part houses and structures brought in and re-built from various regions in Sweden. These house real craftsmen demonstrating forgotten skills and crafts to the public. On the highest point there is the restaurant and open-air stage Solliden where weekly music performances has been held, and televised, in the summer since forever; the format is half performance by the visiting artists and half sing-a-long with the audience.
Oh! How you would love Swedish traditional folkmusic. Most of it based on violon . But also with amazing singers. I know that you allready know Helen Sjöholm . Check out the song "Koppången" with Kalle Moraeus and Helen Sjöholm - It will be leave you left crying of its beauty. I preffer it ONLY on violon ..but Helen is amazing in herself too. Maybe you can also check Helen Sjöholm in the sonng "Hemma" (Home) Up north far away from Stockholm this is music we listening to especially in summertime
Sofia is wonderful, her song Dalarna från ovan is beautiful. Lisa Ekdahl, Lars Winnerbäck, Cornelis Vreeswijk, Jussi Björling, Thåström, Ebba Forsberg are also great singers you can try. We have a lot of good singers here.❤
I find some of Dan Andersson's poems to be absolutely spellbinding. There is so much nature in them, little creeks in snowy pine forests, waves rolling on to beaches, etc. Many artists have turned his poems into songs, my favorite versions are the ones made by the Hootenanny Singers. Some songs to check out could be "Omkring tiggarn från Luossa" (a beggar tells his partly supernatural tale), "Sizzi" (about a hare trying to survive the Swedish nature, and hunters), or "Jungman Jansson" (a sailor leaving his mother and his girlfriend to go sailing, and the challenges and temptations that await him).
This song is about a man who longs for a woman, he often works together with one or two men out in the forest, they cut down trees and build up Charcoal pile that produces charcoal, This job often meant that they did not see any other people for several months.
Your analogy of this being a mix of Helen Sjöholm and the jojk Singer Jon Henrik Fjällgren was actually spot on! She sings in swedish like Helen but with a more folky traditional style more like that of the ”jojk” (a traditional sami singing style)
The "violin guy" is not her husband. His name is Esbjörn Hazelius and is a superb swedish folk musician with lots of projects and collaborations, like the band Hazelius/Hedin, Swedish-Irish band Eitre and many more. I can highly recommend them.
