what

The melody is from a folk-song called "guoktelogiovcci" ("twenty-nine" in English)

It does, but for some reason only the yoiking-part made it to the soundtrack for this performance. The melody is from a well-known folk-song called "Guoktelogiovcci" ("twenty-nine" in English), and the words of the legendary first verse go a little something like this: "Guoktelogiovcci ožžot leat dat dáža-nieidda, ovdal go dat vástidit ovttage sámi-niedda". Freely translated into English, this means: "You will need twenty-nine Norse girls, before they are equivalent to just one Sámi girl" 😂

@@0mgskillz96 My four-year mystery, solved! Thank you so much!

@@Theobroma-p3n Lol no problem! You can find many versions of the song on KZbin if interested 👍

@@0mgskillz96 Do you happen to know the rest of the lyrics? I can't find a decent Sami-to-English translator.

@@Theobroma-p3n The "Deatnugátte nuorat" ("The youth of the Deatnu-river bank") group's version goes like this: 2x Guoktelogiovcci ožžot leat dat dáža-nieidda, Ovdal go dat vástidit ovttage sámi-niedda. Luonddu čáppisvuođa siste lei son bajás šaddan. Eadnistis gal árben lei dan luonddu čáppa moji. 2x You will need twenty-nine Norse girls, Before they match up to a Sámi girl. Inside the beauty of nature, she had grown up. From her mother indeed, she had inherited the beautiful smile of this nature.

You're right. There seems to be no information available about old folk dances, or just dances and jigs in general, of Western Sami origin, except for the Southern Sami sydis-dance, which only started developing between the 60s and 80s and is heavily based on swing-dancing (it can be seen here kzbin.info/www/bejne/horVXpSLrdZqi7s ). It seems like Western Sami weren't heavy on dancing, and this may be due to them being neighbors to cultures who aren't avid dancers neither (eg. Scandinavians and Finns). This is obviously just a made-up "folk dance" for some sort of a Finnish showcase on Sami culture from the Ohcejohka region. Eastern Orthodox Sami on the other hand have many dances for many different occasions going back centuries, due to them living side-by-side with eg. Karelians, their kinfolk, and Russians, both of whom are known for their dancing.

Yeah, seems our ancestors were more in to singing and drumming instead. Maybe we have had dances but they have been long forgotten. Same thing with nenets people they have forgotten their dances too and the dances they do are more of koryak dances/inuit copied. Maybe here in west life was more though with the conflics with euros so there was no time to dances

😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just came to confirm Martin' dance

Egle Misiukeviciute Mostly folk music does not have a specipic composer...

Celephinn no, they are of a completely different origine

Celephinn Well, yeah, and you could similarly say that Italian is a dialect of Romanian, or that English is a dialect of German. In all 3 cases, there's a better, i.e. more balanced/neutral way of expressing the relationships.

Sami people are Finno-Ugric. So closest to Finns

No, they are not "of a completely different origin". In genomic point of view, the father lines of Sami people are the same as Finnish people's. Also, 17% percent of the original Eastern-Finnish have Sami roots. Lingvistically, once Sami languages ruled in Finland, and still we use the same Samic names of places - must be thousands of them in Finland still in everyday use. So rather, we are a little mixed. Finnish, Mordvinic and Samic are considered as Sami-Finnic languages.

TheEmsann Of course, but theyre still finnish, if theyre living in finland + born in Finland, but has sami culture :)
