2014 - JON HENRIK, "DANIEL'S JOJK" as sung on Talant Sverige
Thanks, CrystalRiver. :) The song at the blogsite is "Daniel's Joik" (sometimes spelled "Jojk"). Wikipedia says:
The joik is a unique form of cultural expression for the Sami people in Sápmi.[4] This type of song can be deeply personal or spiritual in nature, often dedicated to a human being, an animal, or a landscape as a personal signature.[2] Improvisation is not unusual. Each joik is meant to reflect a person or place. The Sami verb for presenting a joik (e.g. Northern Sami juoigat) is a transitive verb, which is often interpreted as indicating that a joik is not a song about the person or place, but that the joiker is attempting to evoke or depict that person or place through song - one joiks one's friend, not about one's friend (similarly to how one doesn't paint or depict about a flower, but depicts the flower itself).
Two videos below. The second is the one that plays at the blogsite, about 10 minutes in length. The first is from the 2014 edition of TV show "Talant Sverige" ("Talent Sweden", or "Sweden's Got Talent"), in which Jon Henrik appeared, explained the joik (which has no lyrics), and presented a short version of it that clearly touched everyone in the room. That video has been viewed almost 8 million times. It has CC on-screen English translation if activated.
