The essence of place



I love the manner in which the essence of place can sometimes be captured in a piece of music or an image.  This is Daniel's Jok (Yoik) sung by Jon Henrik,  who came to Sweden as an orphan from Colombia and who has made an amazing career as  a moderniser of the Sami or Lapland yoik tradition.  He won the Sweden's Got Talent competition in 2014 with this song, composed in memory of his friend Daniel.
