[.ca] Instinct

dark, ethereal, modern:
This CD of solo yoik is a way different idea from the direction Wimme Saari's career had taken until now, & is a perfect example of his true talent. This is my favorite of all the solo yoik music I've heard. It is definitely a modern CD, but resonates with all the power of so much beautiful tradition which clearly touches Wimme so deeply. Somehow it almost makes me cry without making me sad; it's just so intensely tender, caring, beautiful. But not sappy. Don't get me wrong. This CD is thick mist & frost.

A little glimpse into traditional Sami life:
Wimme, a Sami singer and shaman, seems to go about his life writing songs to everything he encounters. A few traditional songs for young people and animals, a few hymns in Sami. Very cool.
