Sofia Jannok: "Viviann" & "Waterloo" (Sweden, 2013)

"Allsång på Skansen" (06 August, 2013)

[@Raeikah]

I just discovered Sami songs, and I'm falling in love! Seriously, I need to do some real research now about this culture. Sofia Jannok's music is stunning and powerful.

[@vkalleeklund5967]

Impossible to anderstand language, even for a finn. ;:)

[@marfie]

***** But the Samis can understand the Finns ;)

[@vkalleeklund5967]

+maret Sofie Turi If they can speak finnish otherwhise No! :)

[@marfie]

***** Sami and Finnish are related, if a Sami listens carefully, it's possible to understand ;) (ofc not 100% or shit like that)

[@vkalleeklund5967]

They are related but far away the same. I speak Finnish and I don't anderstand Sami at all :)

[@afriendlydolphin6309]

Absolutely astonishing and beautiful...both the music, and the woman herself! Sofia Jannok!

[@klausgh]

So beautiful, the music, the voice and the woman!! ❤💜💚💛❤

[@AlastairRosie]

Just watched this again for the tenth time in a few months. Just love her music, bought the albums and they're great background songs for when I'm writing, much like Enya I guess. I don't speak either Sami or Gaelic but I find that it actually good when I'm writing because I'm not distracted by English lyrics.

[@Lorinissa-]

Too bad. Before you know it, you'll understand half of lyrics and know when to sing them and then... Be distracted.

[@Svartakatten100]

Bara jag som blir riktigt lycklig över sådant här? är helt fascinerad utav henne, fantastisk är hon.

[@dolorestaylor5123]

[@george4997george]

I wish they would provide closed caption for those of us who are deaf and would really like to read the words she is singing.....

[@jarnopalokari3702]

Most of it has no words, I think.

[@ines962]

👍Неймовірна пісня, я в захваті 👏🇺🇦

[@borg310]

Så vackert Samiska är. Förstår inget men d' gör de samma när det e' så vackert.

[@mizzomentall]

I love those Sami songs without any lyrics, just an improvise songs !!!

[@OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

It doesn't necessarily mean there are no lyrics. You just might not understand what they mean.

[@Zealix]

Totally, all songs in languages you don't understand don't have lyrics.

[@WeedleyDee]

She joiks. There usually are no lyrics or very few. I would recommend understanding the subject before accusing someone else of not understanding it.

[@fenixisak]

VILKEN HÄRLIG RÖST HON HAR

[@tylerscaff3103]

I can't seem to figure out how to find/buy her albums in the US. Does anyone have any recommendations? Even her website doesn't seem to be loading properly.

[@MissCosmonaut]

Tyler Scaff Amazon :) or Itunes

[@uhksahkka]

Buotnakis Sofia!!

[@KEIL450]

WOW!! Klasse! Ich liebe die Sami-Lieder, auch wenn ich sie nicht verstehe! Wollte es mal lernen! Jedoch spiesst es sich mit meiner geliebten deutschen Muttersprache!! Ich liebe dieses Land und die Leute....vorallem ihre Messer ;-)

[@bogdanabadi22]

Is it me or Swedish girls are cute AF!

[@mollyedelbring1828]

Bogdan Abadi Thanks

[@End-Result]

She isn't Swedish, she's Sami.

[@TheWizardOfPotsdam]

@@End-Result She is Swedish, and she is Sami.

[@Tenho-kt2sm]

Hi Hanna

[@Tiberiotertio]

Tolle Stimme! Leider kaum bekannt in Deutschland, hoffe das ändert sich!

[@horstr1750]

100 % Zustimmung . Ich mag das Lied Irene von ihr.

[@jesushernandez-ph5kg]

pues se parese mucho a belinda vercion mexicana

[@YtubeUserr]

What genre is this?

[@ssteellaa1231]

This is called joik wich is the traditional music of sami people

[@YtubeUserr]

ssteellaa1231 thanks!

[@dreamsmadeflesh1]

YtubeUserr I also hear some similarities between her music and the Post Rock genre.

[@moirhann]

+dreamsmadeflesh1 it is a mix of both:) Very modernised "joik"..

[@Nemasl]

Schon etwas befremdlich, wie skeptisch das Publikum schaut, wenn jemand Waterloo in einem skandinavischen Dialekt singt, den kaum jemand kennt...

[@gtg488w]

It doesn’t need the instruments

Hellre Sofia jannok än hon Henrik Fjällgren som har hånat sin egen kultur genom Att tävla i mello usch men Sofia jannok är bara bäst.

[@cosmicking1]

oh my goodness I've never seen so much beautiful blonde hair in one group... that's what i like to see

[@mustiboss7529]

Aha ok thats kinda racist!?

[@spiritof6986]

@@mustiboss7529 How is it racist,Musti? There's beuty in every family of the human race of every colour. White skin and blond hair is something many find attractive. Dark skin and dark hair is something many find attractive. Both of my daughters have blond hair and when we went to China,they got so much attention and so many people Chinese people said that they were beautiful. Were the Chinese people being racist??

[@borg310]

Fast jag tror inte min mor gillar Sofia. Hon gillar inte invandrare & ur-befolkning.

[@andreosterlindh]

greger olofsson Sofia är inte ens ivandrare lol

[@frida9537]

Vad räknar hon sig som då skulle jag gärna vilja veta. FN:s definition av ursprungsfolk är att ursprungsfolk är de som har en historisk kontinuitet med samhällen i det territorium som senare invaderades eller koloniserades av andra. Så antingen härstammar man från ursprungsfolk eller invandrare. Och vi levererar på 2000-talet så vad spelar det för jävla roll!

[@Eldarquest]

Ursprungsfolk så klart 🤯

[@Atomicomet]

Lucky for Abba they sang it in English this version was horrible.
