Today's Radiozine features a special episode from Sprouts.
The Sami are an indigenous people located in the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, and Finland, as well as part of Russia.
As a peek into their rich cultural heritage, we listen to a sampling of six pieces featuring women singers from Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Pieces range from very traditional to contemporary mixed with traditional elements. The focus is on joik, which can refer to the Sami folk singing style, a folk song itself, or the act of folk singing.
