BEAUTIFUL SÁMI FOLK MUSIC | Elle Márjá Eira - Ruoššajievja

[@karinanalbandyan3009]

Keep the Sami culture alive. Don't let it die. We need cultural diversity in this world. If culture dies, so will the guidance & the wisdom of our ancestors. We will be lost, looking for our native roots

[@DjDelchi]

Would you be interested to know that the Sami culture is present in a currently produced graphic novel?

[@alejandromacias3697]

@@DjDelchi What graphic novel would that be?

[@DjDelchi]

@@alejandromacias3697 it's called " Mina olen noiduttu ", or just "Noiduttu " to the fans. You can find more about it at entropic-designs.com or email me directly.

[@cloudberries]

A.P. Delchi i’m sámi and for sure will be buying this from you soon. love your art style-excited to see the representation & thanks for posting the link!

[@raggarbergman]

Sadly large portions are already lost to the history thanks to the cross worshippers forbidding the sami religion and culture. :(

[@ellie311]

i encountered sami music in my swedish classes at college. We talked about Mari Boine, who's i guess the most famous Sami singer & when I travelled throughout sweden/norway last year someone on the train to Kiruna showed me Sofia Jannok. I fell in love with sami music, it's very soothing & although I don't understand the lyrics i find it's beautiful. I'll spend 2 month in sweden this winter & hopefully be able to go to the sami land again.

She is from Kautokeino (North of Norway), but lives in Karasjok. This performance was a part of the Sami Music Festival in 2009. The Sami Music Festival is held in Kautokeino every easter.

[@T.A.859]

love it

[@alejandromacias7609]

I'm so grateful this video is still foundation. Thank you so so much for sharing this gem. 💎 ❤

[@tatsuyahori8837]

Niels, just wondering if you're impersonating the real artist and stealing? Lots of people where you're from have a history of doing that. They also have a history with the local law enforcement. Prove that you are who you claim to be. I'm in Hokkaido but I can wait.

[@pineridgelakota8108]

This brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful. I am proud of my people not only in this moment but always.

[@KristinKStar]

I love your people and the many vivid ways your culture speaks of the variety of snow from the beginning snowfall to the sprintime melt and the various uses of a stick and their many names the fire poking stick has a name the sticks at he lavvu entrance have a name. So delicate and beautiful. im Kristin (Ristin in Saami)from Washington state

[@Pylliwigins]

Wonderful! Keep on playing & singing. That's the best way to show that Sàmi people are still alive...

[@catherinetodd]

Wow! Love it love it love it! Sami sounds like "real music" to me, for the very first time. No words needed. Emotion like the sunrise and the birds in the morning... Life in all it's beauty and glory. Gracias!

[@Mikeztarp]

You should check out a band from Iceland called Sigur Rós; their song Sæglópur is one of my all-time favorites!

[@catherinetodd]

Mikeztarp Thanks, will do!

[@Natsumi666]

+Catherine Todd the singer doesn't joik, but it's a similar pattern, lovely anyway.

[@KristinKStar]

I'm reading The End of Drum Time by Hanna Pylvainen about the Saami. i love yoiks. I yoiked on the Timberline Trail on Mt Hood.

[@Helvira1]

The sound of my ancestors!

[@inferna2606]

[@shatoi]

I love Sami music.

[@Julia-xr6zw]

so beautiful...feel like the music from heaven

[@anonymousn0m4d63]

May our culture live forever. Our children need to know who they are and it should be passed on to generations who have ventured far from home to places like the US and Canada. Never forget who you are.

[@zoolkhan]

too late. After 100 yrs they know nothing about where they come from. The loss of their language is a strong indicator. They visit geneology sites, because they would otherwise not know who their grandparents used to be. That is the sorry state of affairs.

[@jtothaizzo7000]

Elle is so amazing in this song. It makes my heart warm

[@GeirTheNorwegian]

Lovely! We need to take much more care of our native people!

[@Pteromandias]

We are all our native people.

[@heltpaavidda]

@MEDlNA Sámi music is the music of the arctic indigenous people inhabiting Sápmi, which today encompasses parts of far northern Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Kola Peninsula of Russia, but also in the border area between south and middle Sweden and Norway. The Sámi are Europe's northernmost and the Nordic countries' only officially indigenous people. Their traditional languages are the Sami languages and are classified as a branch of the Uralic language family.

[@Pteromandias]

Why are they considered indigenous but not anyone else?

[@KristinKStar]

I heart yoiks

[@rimasuemikidia]

This is so beautiful. I love saamis

[@helvikreteck6202]

[@Radical_InspiredTV]

This is my favourite song

[@BlueFace33388]

I was told, tongue in cheek, that sami's have special powers. I wouldn't put it past them

[@geoffoakland]

me either. They communicate with reindeers, that's all I need to know!

[@david82633]

@@geoffoakland those "special powers" weren't always seen as good, and so many noaidis were killed for witchcraft

[@BallgagsandBlinders]

Aye... It's true.

[@rydellpink]

Beautiful!

[@lemuelbuenviaje1996]

Anyone who is part of the Sami IP in the comments, if you could please put the song as a reply to the comments, i would like to perform this with a friend. I'm feeling its emotion so much even though I dont know the words

Is she a recording artist? Can't seem to find her tracks anywhere, to download or buy. I would appreciate any help :)

Could somebody put out here the lyrics and translation?

Cool a Finnish name for the place :D

where is she from and where was this performance?

[@Forkboy193]

[@garyellis191]

It should be beautiful it came from angels fallen ones!

[@aldrichsmith]

What do you mean, friend?

[@broadcasterpro]

Ruoššajievja - what does this mean?

[@rolfolsen3236]

Ruošša means Russia, and jievja means white. The term is used by Saamis to describe a certain-looking reindeer. As you may know the Saamis have about 500 words to describe reindeers. By those discriptive words they immediately knows what reindeer is meant if they see it. Best wishes, A Saami

[@dylanjenkins6680]

Talked to you awhile ago going to jokkmokk not alta i guess not wanted there by who I sought defeats the purpose of going there

[@Lawh]

Their language is similar to Finnish in many ways, it's the same language branch, but studies have shown the the Finns and Saami are genetically more different than Finnish and some more farther away countries. I don't know exactly why, but it has something to do with age old rivalries or something. Finland is Suomi in Finnish.

[@T.A.859]

something that i dont know

[@Amberussianbeauty]

Im russian and I understand some, is that normal?

[@logical.3225]
