In addition to my other favourite music genres there is World music and variants of Sámi joik. Joik or Yoik is a type of traditional singing kind of slightly similar to Siberian cultures. I’m of Sámi roots and I’m not practiced in joik, my ancestors were successfully Norwegianized(?) (Fornorsket same/fornorskede samer) so I’m not core Sámi regions identified. Many were Sea Sámi and some Mountain Sámi; including from places like Tysfjord, Måsøy and Kautokeino. Okay, so enough about my ancestry; lets get to my favourite types!
I enjoy listening to Mari Boine (she is my genetic relative in extended family, we are both DNA-tested) and other type Sámi musicians like Sofia Jannok and also other World music artists. I like Native American music, Siberian, Mongolian and indigenous Australian as well as different African traditional song/music. Every culture has great tradition and talented musicians among them.
thanks for listening ❤
