Sami Music
Sami music is a traditional form of music originating from the Sami people, an indigenous group primarily found in the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. This music often features unique vocal styles, such as joik, which is a form of chanting that expresses emotions, stories, or connections to nature. Instruments like the drum and the hardanger fiddle are also commonly used in performances.
The themes of Sami music often revolve around nature, spirituality, and the daily life of the Sami people. In recent years, there has been a revival of interest in Sami music, with contemporary artists blending traditional elements with modern genres, helping to preserve and promote this rich cultural heritage.
