I had the great privilege to hear live Joik singing in the 80's in Alta, Norway. They were working at night, and sang to keep themselves energized. it was magical in the still night. I wish the translations were here. The songs are usually about their reindeer or simple life events. just everyday stories. Thanks for posting

[@influencer8757]

don't remind me of ALTA and all the beautiful places, the whole culture region, with its wonderful people! __too sad... and too many heart pains__ I get too emotional

[@Evitaschannel]

That sounds magical. Thanks for sharing

[@inlesinlet]

Can't translate what ain't words ;) They're not joiking ABOUT reindeer or whatever else, they joik THE reindeer, or the wind, or the mountain, or their life partner; their essence or spirit. Joik doesn't use language, it's pure vocal sound. Which makes it even more magical. (There is a lot of Sámi music which mixes lyrical singing in Sámi language with joik, but these clips are not examples of that. Well, the last little tune sung by what sounds like a young girl does include language. There is a clear difference.)

Thank you Gammaldans, for posting this. Can feel it in my heart. I do privately joik; for so much of my adult life, but I never knew what anyone might call it. I once asked my ancestors for something to lift my spirit whenever I feel great need, and was given a song. It actually took me a while to interpret the song, and over time I learned, in ancient language Father is Tey, Mother is Mey, Brother is Sey, and Sister is Wey. My song is divining through the universal, heavenly family. Thanks again Gammaldans, for sharing these five Sami Joik songs here.

That is because Normandy was raided, then settled by norsefolk. They adopted the local language and intermarried with the native inhabitants. Thus, they became the Normans. Though, I don't know how long that ancestry lasts throughout the generations.

Even the youngest ones, the indoeuropeans, entered western- and northern europe 4800 to 4500 years ago. Still earlier than the finno ugric speaking groups.

They have their own unique culture, languages, and history that are distinct from Turkish or Turkic cultures.
