Just found out on ancestor dna and 23and me traced it to Saami roots on mums side. It’s funny the similarities in spiritual etc. Yet no generic or geographical evidence of intermingle, Ive always been drawn to Sioux music and spirituality. Never knew who saami were till today. Any info and help would be great as is quite limited.

D Man again thankyou so so so much, Bouhhris my friend. All knowledge is good to me , I am always is search of truth wisdom ....and feel a weird connectivity towards saami...always gravitated toward 2 groups ppl , being Sioux mainly and Rasta (back to basics as best can, and reduce my footprint) also I find very interesting the shamanistic side of things, kinda vibrates with me big time. Again thank you D Man, most appreciated ,and I hope to travel to my ancestors land and experience the culture and history. Feel proud and curious. Thank you brother

Growing up people assumed I had “Chinese” in me due to my asiatic eyes which is not the case. I love my unique physical traits inherited from the Saami side of my family 💜

Jojk is so amazing. It hit's me right in the heart. Having a daughter myself I just get superemotional hearing this. I'm so proud that I live in a country with this amazing culture. And at the same time so ashamed of all the shit the government put the Sami-people through in the past. It is truly a national treasure that should be cherished for eternity

The governement put other groups through that aswell. The Romani/Travellers were on the edge of extinction from the swedish governement and their friends in Germany and beyond the German fall. Every Traveller family in Sweden know about the sterilization resulting in no children, the "fostercare" of our children and the forced assimilation to swedish society. The Roma people or the Travellers or the "Tattare" is a forgotten group.

@@dominikaboch4296 When your ancestral lands are stolen from you, your holy men killed and holy drums burned, get your sculls and nose measured in the early days of eugenics, you are forced to leave away your children to Swedish state run school and be forcefully assimilated the list can go on and the oppression is not a part of the past. The Sami people are constantly having their rights as a native population trample over by the Swedish state... The suicide rate among Sami youth stands out from the rest of the population as a result of racism towards Sami people, the hopelessness of being ignored and seeing your future being taken away from you from all directions. Right now there is talk about starting a mine close to Sami land and reindeer paths. The mine threatens to destroy the reindeer pastures forever and thus also destroy the Sami culture. The government is due to decide on this in March, and during the negotiations the state representatives have, without blinking an eye or feeling ashamed, spouted the most racist claims that the Sami culture is dying out and they must sooner or later be assimilated into the rest of society, uncritically reading out arguments from the 19th century. Sweden has received a lot of criticism from both the UN and Amnesty for the way they violate the rights of the Sami. amnesty.se/aktuellt/aven-nar-det-handlar-om-karlek-maste-regelverket-och-rattigheterna-respekteras-karl-petter-thorwaldsson/

När jag första gången stumbled across den här låten blev jag totalt jävla hänförd. Den är så sjukt vacker och jag får fortfarande samma känsla även fast jag lyssnat på den en halv miljon gånger. Maxida du är fan queeeen!

Knowing that it's an old tradition, this is beautiful in a current sort of way. It's funny how many people seem to want lyrics, i.e. specific meaning, to these songs. I love this one.

My people 😭 ♥️⭕️💙

Albumet 'Mountain Songs and Other Stories' er en fantastisk bra utgivelse. Wow!

This is wonderful, great understanding of the tradition plus made in a modern style., Definitely love it! I wish to hear more from you soon (like an album or something).

som balsam för själen, helt underbart! ljuvligt!

Jag är så djupt imponerad av denna Jojk. Utrycker en sådan otrolig sinnesnärvaro och känsla. Använde den i min undervisning om minoritetsspråk (tillsammans med Gállok). Eleverna blev otroligt tagna och medvetna om Sapmis historia och Sverige som kolonisatör.

This is so beautiful! You should definitely make a pure jojk album!

Otroligt vackert! Lyssnar till detta om och om igen med min 6 dagar gamla son!

Very Beautiful Music!

Önskar så även detta stycke fanns på Spotify. Så fantastiskt fint Maxida. Och min personliga favorit.

Otroligt vackert och stämningsfullt. Verkligen avslappnat och magiskt

Sheet, tittar på dig och Kodjo i MH15... var tvungen att pausa lite för att checka din musik. Jävla krigarkvinna, alltså, vi behöver fler. Hoppas du kommer syssla mer med denna sortens musik. Körer (inte kyrkstämmor, utan samiska folkkörer) och mer aukustisk slagverk så är du golden. Det skulle vara så grymt. Jag är själv musiker så jag blir fett inspirerad när folk tar sitt ursprung på allvar och lyfter fram det så naturligt. Det känns på riktigt.

Min dotter Luna älskar verkligen den här.. Hon är 8 månader. Fantastiskt vacker jojk.

En: I have to admit, this is really good. She has a soft-to-strong voice which matches well with the relaxing music and I think it was a nice addition to have that rattle-like instrument sound to enhance the rhythm. Sve: Jätte bra! :) (Jag inte talar bra svenska). Fin: MIelestäni aika hyvä musiikki & laulu kombinaatio. Todella hyvin tehty.

Både jag och min älskade pappa gråter när vi lyssnar på denna, gåshud ! Du är så jävla grym !

Blev introducerad till dig genom SVT och när jag väl sökte på namnet o fann denna låten så blev jag mer än förvånad över vad jag fått höra. Svårt att beskriva känslan man får av en sådan låt som slår in i själen och får en så avslappnad som denna låt gjorde. Måste säga att man e glad att jojken lever kvar. Feta propps från Malmö :)

Det är galet hur ofta jag finner mig själv nynna på den här jojken.. Grymt bra! Stor respekt.

this is so beautiful...I so love Sami joik...

Awesome Beautiful ❤ for me

Du gör jätte bra jojks❤️

Ancient music is healing for the soul. With no new age vibrations that are bad for the spirit and body.

Is this track on Spotify? When I type NikeSunnas Jojk in, a different sounding song is playing. More banjo-y. This version really appeals to me. If anybody knows how to find it in there, i'd appreciate the heads-up.

Awesome. I just love this.

Beautiful music!

Let them keep large reindeer herds! Let them keep their culture! Let them live! And fight climate change together with nature! 🦌🦌🦌

Du verkar vara en allkonstnär inom musiken, Maxida. Underbart att du leker med både nytt och klassiskt i en ny combo! Det du gör är fullt av känsla och trollbindande. Jag ska ansöka på fb till dig, så jag inte missar något. :)
