Love this song, a fabulous Sami yoik.
Like many, I originally believed and posted this to be a Native American song, for it was presented like that to the world by a bunch of groups including Ayllu Records who has it by a most excellent band, Lay o lay aleloya – Manantial from Ecuador. After hearing the real version, one easily note that the band from Ecuador is only singing one little phrase from the song. Interesting how they name the song with that phrase, too… Weird.
But they lied.
I posted about it over at WATT.
Wait, what’s a yoik?
