Finnish Lapland Yoik music -- strange and wonderful




Nils-Aslak was a very famous Sami poet. He is the yoik singer. The music and setting is by Esa Kotinainen

Nils-Aslak Valkeapää + Esa Kotinainen — Eanan, Eallima Eadni

Putting this on here for no other reason than that I am very fond of this recording, which is difficult to find!  I bought it as a tape many years ago, and had despaired of ever finding a digital version.  YouTube to the rescue.........
