Yesterday in the evening I started to listening to Joik again. It is a Sami way of singing in a gutteral way. Growing up I of course heard a great deal of Scandinavian folk music and some Joik too.
It is very gripping and I kept on listening and also looking for some examples of Sami instrumental music.
I include here in this post some images I found.
