Ulla Pirttijärvi is a Sami vocalist born in the village of Angeli (Aŋŋel), Finland. She started her career in Angelin Tytöt, but left the group after the first album. Her own music is a combination of traditional yoiks and contemporary music. Sami (or Lapps) are the Native people, primarily farmers and reindeer herders, living in the polar regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.
Yoik, Joik, Luohti, Vuolle or juoiggus is a traditional Sami form of song. Originally, yoik referred to only one of several Sami singing styles, but in English the word is often used to refer to all types of traditional Sami singing. Its sound is comparable to the traditional chanting of some Native American cultures. Learn more: en.wikipedia.or....
PERSONAL COMMENTARY:
Regrettably, I had no clue what this beautiful lullaby was about. However, I wrote to a Finnish youtube user who told me the song was about a baby in a cradle being rocked to sleep by the wind. That was all I had to go on. And so improvised and created this video while taking a crash course in Lapland culture.
What I found out is the Sami people possess a rich cultural heritage and are known for their close connection to the land they live on. Their ancient religion consists of strong beliefs in the spirit world and the power of nature around them. They believe that everything is connected to the earth, and that the earth is everything. Mountains and fells, as well as bodies of water, were worshiped and sacrificed to. The Sami also believe that everything organic has a soul, and they treat everything and everyone accordingly.
I very much like the Sami culture. For me, the melody of this lulluby reflects the same wisdom and love of Nature, of people, animals and cultures that the Sami people have for Mother Earth, as Native Americans and other indigenous people have for Earth Mother.
Thank you Ulla. I hope that you enjoy this video. Wishing you, your family and friends joy, happiness, good health, prosperity and continued success with all your projects.

My luck is to be from Sweden, and had the chance to work in many areas in the mountains. My first meeting with the native Same people was with the family Kråik - I was a privilege to have a coffee with him. Ulla has been one of my favorite Same singer. Thank you for this song!

[@1234smileface]

I've been listening to this for years. Its absolutely beautiful. I never tire of it.

[@Ulla1960F]

Beautiful and enchanting song and video, what a great precious diamond. The artist Ulla Pirttijärvi is a native-born Laplander and a wife of a reindeer herder. She is also a vocalist in a band called Ulda. Btw, this traditional Sami singing style is called joik. I'm from Finland, but however, Finnish and Sami speakers are not able to understand each other's speech. But traditionally joiks have no lyrics at all, it's more like chanting.

This is unbelievable how can something so beautiful exist. I've known Varttina for years but listen to mostly Irish and Scottish folk - will be adding this to it!

I could listen to this forever

Such an empty, yet stunning landscape. This music echoes the loneliness some may feel living there. I can see why they have such a deep connection with their dogs and reindeer. I am Swedish and sometimes feel that empty landscape in my soul. And I adore animals.

You have a beautiful cultural heritage and I would be mighty proud to be a Fin. Thank you for writing!

Greetings Ulla, please forgive me for not responding sooner. I was concerned not to offend anyone while creating this video because I did not understand the words. All I was told by a Finland native on youtube is the lullaby is about singing a baby to sleep in a cradle blown by the wind. For several days I read about your customs & beautiful reindeer herders, not knowing that Ulla is married to a reindeer herder herself. Thank you so much for teaching me more about your culture & Ulla. ♥ Ambriel

Lyrics for this one?💞

[@1234smileface]

What is this song called? I can't find it anywhere.

[@Nonononono_Ohno]

This is "Boares Gietkka / Lullaby" from the Album "Áibbaseabmi" (2008). There are other great songs on this album, for example "Jearrat biekkas". I personally can't decide which of her songs I find best, perhaps this one, or "Mattarahku Askai" from the album with the same name. Ulla sings like an Angel. If you're into this kind of music, I'd be happy to exchange recommendations. :-)
