It’s crazy that Fred hadn’t joiked with a group before Spirit in the Sky. He’s so good

[@bwatever]

"When I made Spirit in the Sky I thought about a naked sami woman on reindeer skin." WTF Fred?! xd

[@DavidsDiana]

Lol I will never listen to Spirit in the sky in the same way now 😊

[@nev7991]

Well then...

[@OriginalPuro]

Correction: He was nervous about joiking in public(he only used to joik with children where he worked) so he was given a tip to "see all the audience as naked women lying on reindeer skin", it's not like his inspiration for the joik was naked women.:>

Very nice - can we get videos with the other two members of Keiino as well? (How he learned to play the guitar, since when she started singing professionally, who does what when creating a new song together,...) Also: could you maybe do a series, as soon as the new songs for ESC 20 will start coming out, with Alex's opinion on them? I think she's a real ESC-geek and I'd love to hear her take on the songs! All her videos for ESC were so lovely and I enjoyed her enthusiasm for the songcontest so much! (Still am impressed, how much she knew, recognised and could sing herself!)

[@TheAwetist802]

In Saami/Sami culture the tradition of the joik teaches that the the song (joik) is non-different from and not separate from the person, place, or object being sung about. To joik is to relate to, to live in intimate response with all other sentient life, seen and unseen. When we joik, we are talking to a lost loved one, a distant friend, the sky, the river, our ancestors, the snow... we are bringing them forward for all others to relate to, as well, as their very essence resonates through a space. The song is the vibrational ISness of beings.

this guys answers are so perfect i feel i have learned so much about flow and inspiration in such a short amount of time. i wish joik was more common or at least singing how you feel was more encouraged in our society today.

I love KEIINO and I love Fred. He's awesome.

[@lumiosepan]

I love Fred! What an amazing Joiker. And because of him l was able to know about Sami people and joiking. I personally feel a heavenly connection while listening to joiking. When I listen to Keiino my heart takes a leap of faith (🛷) tied with music(reindeer).

I’ve never heard native Joik speakers in an everyday conversation. Is it as rhythmic and tonal as singing?

I cracked up when he asked "Why are people joiking?"

[@YsabelMusicCt]

Can you learn this from a teacher? It is part of my ancestors so I would like to

[@StigDesign]

Is singing in Joik language more to express ones feeling like poetry?

[@chiasanzes9770]

I am not from Lapland, but born in nordic country I think I can maybe open the joik or joiku a little deeper. Joiku is a similar as the throatsing in MongoliA mend to send a message over the valley or in calmer tone tell the story of the family at the fireside. Joiku is mostly of a story telling I'm understood.

[@ashentrena7082]

Hei ^_^ I have learned from Sámi people I met that saying "Lapland" is rude, an insult, because "lap" was a very negative word used instead of "Sámi", which is why in this video when asked about something in "Lapland", he answers speaking about "Sápmi" instead. I'm sure you didn't mean anything bad and it was an interesting comment, I just wanted to spread a respectful way of saying things I learned myself after using the wrong word for so long!

Joik sounds a lot like traditional Native North American singing

[@atorasu3976]

[@OriginalPuro]

Correction, joik is defined as non-verbal chant, if you use any sami words at all then it's not joik, it becomes sami inspired music. Yes, the sami community have defined the different types of music, for instance if a vocalist sings in English, even if he is Sami, then it's called western music, if he joiks then it's a joik and if he sings with sami words then it's sami inspired music. For instance, in the "spirit in the sky" song he is performing sami inspired music, he is not joiking, a joik is voice only, no background music and no instruments(he used drums on stage).
