Sami are indigenous and nomadic people inhabiting Scandinavia for thousands of years. Joik is a unique form of cultural expression for the Sami people. This type of song can be dedicated to a human being, an animal, or a landscape, and improvisation is common. Joik and Joikers reflect one of the oldest continuous musical traditions in Europe.
