Sami is the indigenous population of Sameland, an undefined area in northern Norway, Sweden and Finland and on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. The number of Sami is estimated to be between 80,000 and 100,000. Of these, 50,000-65,000 live in Norway, 20,000-40,000 in Sweden, about 8,000 in Finland and about 2,000 in Russia. Reindeer husbandry is to own and control domestic or semi-wild reindeer and to use them for their livelihoods, for example, by utilizing milk, meat and skins :) Their handicraft is awesome :)Jojk, Sami for singing, is an ancient Sami song, among the oldest in Europe. The term jojka originally comes from the Sami word juoigat. A jojk must not contain any words or sentences, joke melodies sometimes contain only sounds and convey messages and emotions with the help of these :)

The clothes he is wearing is called gákti or kolt in Swedish. The gákti is a traditional sámi costume and varies very much depending on where you're from, who your family is, if you're a man or woman, old or a child. If you are single or not, married, devorced, or if you have a partner, if you're a teen. If you're confirmed or not and it can even tell if you are rich or not. It's very personal and sacred clothing. And beautiful as anything. It's very hard work as it's personally customized.

@@ReactToTheWorld Actually, the story in Frozen 2 about the dam and conflict between Arendell and the Northuldra-people is inspired by the story of the Sámi village Máze/Masi in the municipality of Kautokeino in Northern Norway. "During the late 1960s to the early 1980s, the Norwegian government considered building a dam on the local river for the proposed Alta Hydroelectric Power Station which would have flooded the village. This was called the Alta controversy and it had a big impact on the nation's politics at that time." (from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masi,_Norway) The hydroelectric power plant was eventually built, but luckily, thanks to the many protests, the village of Máze was decided to be protected in 1973. And it still stands today. I have a request/recommendation for you guys, if you want to react to more joik. There were made songs and joiks about the protest, and one of the strongest ones is the joik Máze by Mari Boine. The younger artist Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen joiked her own versjon of it on the tv-show Stjernekamp in 2018. And I think it's the most powerful thing I have ever heard.

Our dear Jon - Henrik who won this competition, has told us that just before this performance he thought about taking his life! He thought he would not win he just wanted to jojking for the last time this jojk.. That was the turn and he became the most popular artist in Sweden with this. He then wrote the jojke "free" which I strongly recommend you to do a reaction video with. He has since performed in the melody festival twice. He belongs to the "indigenous people" here in Sweden. Who live close to nature in a similar way to the Indians in "horns". Which is similar to the American Indians. Like the Indians' music, the Sami jojke has no words when sung, but is a song from the heart and soul. This jojke should not really be interrupted for it to grab hold of one. It is meant to listen for a distance and then it gets a much wider range and goes all the way in, I recomendate for the big feeling. This jojk has a text that I can come back with, if not anyone has written it here. It was the extension of his best friend who died. The most vulnerable group in Sweden for suicide is the Sami population. Who are often ostracized as a group and bullied in the smaller communities in the North where they live, above all. The cold part off Sweden, with snow at all year... The clothes he wears are Sami folk costume. Nothing worn by others in Sweden. The cap, on the other hand, can come across and they joke about it in the program when Carolina Gynning sitting in the jury says about it: Oh what a fine! The others laugh and say that Carolina actually has one to. When you know who Carolina is as a person, you understand it more. I'm so glad you made a video with this particular bombshell video with Jon - Henrik! I became completely enthralled and stuck, there was no one else who would win in my world talent! So amazing! Goes straight into the soul! I went straight to Spotyfy and downloaded his music. From not being "somebody" to Sweden's most beloved artist! 🥰

Sapmi homelands are Sweden to North Russia at one point in ancient times they lived all over Europe and migrations pushed them back to their original homelands I got this info from a Sammi on Instagram this history is not accepted not even by their own aka Europeans its a shame.

The Sami joik is not a song with lyrics; it is a song from the soul and heart. Even if you don’t understand the song, you understand the emotion. Daniel’s Joik still touches me today when I hear it. It goes deep within oneself, and you just find yourself. It’s hard to explain; it must be experienced.

An easy wikipedia search " joik or yoik is a traditional form of song in Sámi music performed by the Sámi people of Sapmi in Northern Europe. Originally, joik 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. As an art form, each joik is meant to reflect or evoke a person, animal, or place." Jon Henrik Fjällgren is the singer and today he is very popular. He sings in Swesih too. He is on Spotify people. :-)

Thus I'm from Sweden I hadn't heard of this until my ex played it for me. I didn't know anything about it, but realized I couldn't listen to it from start to finish since it always made me feel so anxious. When my dad passed I decided that I wanted to play this at his funeral, yet not aware of the story behind the song. A friend of my said it's in samiska, and I just wanted to control it wasn't inappropriate to play the song - I checked up the lyrics. And then I realized the song was about death and grief. I was shocked, but the match was made in haven. Here's the lyric (at leas as far as what I've understod) Do you go with me still, my dear friend, Although I no longer see you? Are you still here on earth, Just as you remain in my heart? I lie there and ponder, Its a deafly soundless around me. The tears break through and falls, In the memories of you. An angel that was left behind, Have now got its wings. Where do you fly now, my angel? Where do you fly now? Are you flying through the pearly gates, tell me? Or to the worlds end? Are you flying beside me? Or am I alone now? Where ever you are my friend. Where ever the path takes you. Promise me you'll wait there, Until we meet again. I hope you're happy now. As i was with you, The pain you have suffered, i hope its now gone. Soar free, my dear friend. You're free now. And until we meet again, Farewell, my angel

There are both chanting and also lyrics in samii/sapmii in his song.. Im in part sapmii, nordic, Celtic and latino. Samii or sapmii as we call it, is a native aborigial ethnicity spread out on their own territory across norwegian, swedish, finnish, and russian broders.. Mostly up north in each country, but in Sweden and Norway there are sapmii people even more southern areas.. These people are comparable to native americans in USA and Canada, and are considered tiny minorities I have never heard about sapmii people in Denmark though, allthough it is a nordic country.. My ä dad was danish. Jon Henriks outfit is a traditional sapmii outfit, and not common in or nearby cities when speaking of large cities in especially the more southern parts of Sweden, so the jury might or might not have seen pictures of such outfits.

I'm from Sweden so when someone is reacting to Swedish things I have to watch :P And I have to say that this is a really good reaction channel where you actually react to things and not just watching the video and then go "wow that was crazy" at the end, and then end the video. You just got a new sub! And please react to more Swedish things ;)

Here comes the lyrics roughly translated to english, thought someone would like to read it. Do you go with me still, my dear friend, Although I no longer see you? Are you still here on earth, Just as you remain in my heart? I lie there and ponder, Its a deafly soundless around me. The tears break through and falls, In the memories of you. An angel that was left behind, Have now got its wings. Where do you fly now, my angel? Where do you fly now? Are you flying through the pearly gates, tell me? Or to the worlds end? Are you flying beside me? Or am I alone now? Where ever you are my friend. Where ever the path takes you. Promise me you'll wait there, Until we meet again. I hope you're happy now. As i was with you, The pain you have suffered, i hope its now gone. Soar free, my dear friend. You're free now. And until we meet again, Farewell, my angel.

This is one of Jon Henriks most powerful songs ever imo. He won the swedish Talang that year. Daniel was only one of 6 close friends of Jon Henrik that had that has died for various reasons in a short period of time. Jon Henrik was on his bottom when he did Talang. He had planned to take his life after this show, cause all of his friends were allready on the other side, and he thought he had nothing left here. Im soo glad he chose therapy instead. He has after Talang competed in the swedish eurovision song contest with good results (never won tho) 3 times.

The song’s lyric Are you still going with me, my dear friend, Although I no longer see you? Are you still here on earth, as you are in my heart? I'm still pondering, It's terribly quiet all around me. Tears break out and fall, In the mind of you. An angel that was forgotten here, Have now got their wings. Where are you flying now, my angel? Where are you flying now? Are you flying through the sky gate, say? Or to the end of the world? Are you flying next to me? Or am I alone now? Wherever you are, my friend. Wherever you go. Promise you're waiting there, Until I meet you. I hope you are happy now. as I was with you. And the pain you have suffered, Hope I am forgotten. Float freely, my dear friend. You're free now. And until we meet again, Bye, my angel.

A little explention i am norwegian so i can understand most swedish, the man is adopted from Colombia into a sami family, samis are a nomadic ethnic group with No real home country but the live in Norway, sweden, Finland and russia, he doesnt look sami hence the shocked reaction to his clothing. The jojk is a sami Cultural song, this one dedicated to his friend Who died 4 years earlier.

I think you have to have watched a lot of Eurovision before one watches that though, because it´s so much reference humour and in-jokes, that you won´t get if you´re not familiar with Eurovision. It´s super funny if you know Eurovision, it´s made for people who are familiar with Eurovision, to recognize all the funny stuff. I think Måns and Petra's song "What is Eurovision?" is more suited for Americans with no prior knowledge of Eurovision.

Yes he won. and he dosen't sing he jojks. this is a jojk he did for his friend Daniel who had died. He was born to indigenous parents in Columbia and at the age of 3 months was adopted by a Sami couple form northern Sweden. His full name is Jon Henrik Fjallgren. He deserves much more exposure. It is a traditional Sami outfit. Note the similarity to some Native North American chants. Sami also live in tipis.

He is also singing in South Sámi language, I think he sings "Manne måjhtan datnem, mov voelpe" (I speak Ume-Sámi so this might be a bit faulty) which translates to "I remember you, my friend" or "I'm reminded of you, my friend". And Sweden actually colonialized the Sámi people with lots of losses of our own culture, traditions, religion and languages. There is still much racism and oppression from the state/swedes towards the Sámi. Which makes this song even stronger and Jon-Henrik even braver! ♥

The reindeer hoarder part made me cry laugh! I pictured someone with an apartment full of reindeers climbing around on the sofa, on the bed, the table and everywhere, so cramped they couldn´t move. The sami version of a crazy cat lady. And yes, reindeer meat is eaten in Scandinavia. It´s quite tasty. Reindeer milk exist, but it´s pretty uncommon nowadays. I live in Stockholm, so I´ve never seen reindeer milk. It´s not like you can find it in supermarkets, like the reindeer meat.

At first I diden't even recognise what word it was, but it's always as funny to hear English talking people trying to pronounce Swedish words 😂 and John Henrik fjällgren as his whole name is, is a very talented and young man, I recommend watching more of his songs and maybe some other ancient Swedish singing, as it's so so beautiful! There are a few videos about " kulning " and that is another ancient singing way. It's used to call for different animals, it's like syren song, but for animals. Kulning for cows in particular have a very beautiful sound.
