Thanks a lot for sharing. For those like me who are willing to learn about the signification and origins of this song, what I could find is : "Beautiful, golden Máze They wanted to put the church of Máze and the school of Máze under water Beautiful, golden Máze" Máze is a village located in what is administratively the north of Norway and historically the Sami territory. In the 1970s the Norwegian government decided to build a hydroelectric power station on the Álttáeatnu river that flows there, putting the area at risk of being flooded. This is a cry for the preservation of that land and the Sami people who live and belong there.
It is essentially untranslatable. It is a Joik-a traditional Sami form of musical expression. Joik is non-lyrical or may contain "hidden lyrics" or meanings, often to obscure the message from the non-Sami Nordic officials in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, who had learned the Sami language. As such, it is more of a musical storytelling form than a verbal one. A Joik is often dedicated to a person or even landscapes, and those raised in the tradition can understand who it refers to through vocalizations and occasionally a few Sami words subtly embedded in the performance. This Joik was composed during the Sami struggle in the 1970s to prevent the Kautokeino River from being dammed for hydroelectric power (a fight they lost alongside many non-Sami environmentalists in 1982). However, it is also said to allude to the "Kautokeino Sami Uprising" of 1852, in which the Sami resisted "Norwegian officials" (including a priest), driven in part by the conflict between the Norwegian Protestant State Church and the Laestadianist movement, which had gained following among the Sami. The uprising ended with the execution by decapitation of two Sami leaders, following their killing of a local merchant and police officer. This event marked the beginning of more aggressive assimilation policies by Norwegian governments, lasting for over a century. Though I haven't delved deeply enough into these tragic events and history (and I am no expert), I think you can sense the sorrow in the Joik-a sadness for past struggles to preserve Sami culture and nature against the dominant Norwegian society (and perhaps also "modernism" and "industrialism". In 1997, King Harald V expressed public regret for these events and their aftermath on behalf of the Norwegian Parliament. I hope this, at least, provided some context for the song, and Aurora's performance of it as a tribute to Mari Boine (perhaps the most famous Sami musical artist in the world and a massive front runner of "world music" around the globe.
@@glacieractivity Thank you for giving the context. It is a well known story in my area. What you write is correct. It is not, however, untranslatable. Cause like you say many yoiks do have some words in them.
@@glacieractivityThank you for your clear, concise, explanation. It’s fantastic that Aurora is supporting the native people, their traditions and their love for the country 🇳🇴❤👍
Mari Boine is a remarkable woman for representing and fighting for what she believes in. This was a beautiful tribute by Aurora and one which I hope will bring Mari Boine and her quest into the consciousness of a new audience.
Amazing! Those high whistle tones she produces at around 2:40 are incredible! The whistle register is the highest phonational register, that in most singers begins above the soprano "high D" (D6 or 1174.6 Hz) and extends to about an octave above (D7 or 2349.3 Hz). It is created by using only the back of the vocal folds.
It sure is. Big part of Joik is mimicking nature and animal sounds. I think she is mimicking an eagle or hawk. Have you heard the end of the acoustic version of "Your Blood" ? I'm pretty sure she goes even higher there. AURORA - Your Blood (Acoustic)
@@i_d_i_e_hI don’t remember her doing whistle notes in Your Blood, (I’ll have to check that out!) but I know she hits a D6 in Running with the Wolves, and she goes up high at the end of Black Water Lilies (although I don’t think it’s whistle register)
Thank you so so much for sharing this ☺️❤️ It would have been such a shame if Auroras powerful performance of this beautiful song would not have been recorded for us to see 😊
Oh, I am so happy you recorded this. I was getting resigned to this being one of the ‘lost’ Aurora performances, of which there are unfortunately a few.
@@paulkossak7761 the melody is Aurora’s take on a well known Sami yoik. The Sami people are the indigenous people of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

En tanke som kom etter å ha hørt og sett denne videoen er at Aurora hadde vært perfekt til stjernekamp😂 ikke det at æ tror det e på prioriterings lista å holde på med sånt og at det e noe ho hadde gjort men ho hadde fått til alle kategorier.
@@vidarmedl ja, helt sant! Æ har egt aldri sett på stjernekamp bare sånn smått. Æ e veldig stolt over at Aurora har kommet så langt som ho har i utlandet! Ho e bare helt fantastisk
I was at this concert, unfortunately it doesn’t look like it was filmed professionally so no video, the organ you could feel as well as hear. If you get the opportunity to see her then do it. She is amazing live 😍
@ I’m sorry I was replying to the one I was watching before and it skipped onto this just as i posted 🤦♀️🤣 I wondered where it had ended up! TH-cam at its finest. I was commenting on Aurora and Anna playing the seed at the royal Albert hall
Forgive me, but I am unfamiliar with the honorary artist and want to know - What language is she singing in? And I wish she would sing more of it…. This is AMAZING!
Mari Boine is the artist you should listen to if you want to hear joik.Joik is the traditional Sami form of music. It is characterized by a reciting way of singing, repetition and variation based on short formulas and special vocal techniques. Joiken is one of Europe's oldest forms of folk music. The joik has always had a distinctive place in Sami consciousness, both as an identity marker and as the shaman's music in the old Sami religion. Joiken has also been a way of remembering the deceased.
Joik is wordless in a litterary sense. It is more like emotional sounds to mother nature. Though some of the sounds, sounding like "he o loilo" etc. Is often used.
@@lillm6874 No, Ella Marie didn't make this. The actual origin of this joik seems a bit shrouded in mystery, it's just credited as "traditional" everywhere I look. Maybe someone has more details.
There were a snippet of Starvation at Instagram, so she played at least that song. But I have not read/seen anything about other songs. May be John-Kåre Hansen could answer this.
@@vidarmedl She did two songs, yes. If a clip of 'Starvation' is on Instagram from the same event, then these are the two in question. However, I did only catch 'Golle Máze' on film.
She has the perfect voice for tribalish folkish music and we need more Aurora
1000% Agree! She’s like an ethereal dream

Aurora needs to do more tribal/folk music, her voice is perfect for it. This type of music hits something deep within me.
Totally agree. This is very special 🇳🇴🏆🥳

@@i_d_i_e_h Yes, the one released in Japan. That was somehow very calming, especially following the Debussy references.

@@ANIisaweirdoooo It's at the end of the acoustic version of Your Blood. She goes really high.
This falls so naturally to our Aurora, so emotional.
Just when I don’t think I could love her more than I already do. ❤❤❤
1:11 This kind of vocalizing is so pleasing to me. There’s similar sounds in North American indigenous music too.
I love the "birds" noises
You can't do this. She's doing a joik🥰 It's just the most beautiful thing ever
Thank you so so much for sharing this ☺️❤️ It would have been such a shame if Auroras powerful performance of this beautiful song would not have been recorded for us to see 😊
Oh my god, I love Mari Boine and I love Aurora! This is wonderful!!!
I have loved her artistery for a long time. But there is this i have waited for. I hope for more. Go AURORA ❤❤❤
Mari Boine og Aurora❤❤❤ to fantastiske musikere❤️❤️❤️
I would have liked to see Mari's reaction to this tribute. 🥰
I’d love to hear more joiks from AURORA!
Vakkert! Elsker Mari Boine og det er en nydelig joik. Dette var nok en ære for Aurora, siden Mari Boine er et stort forbilde for henne.
Unbeschreiblich. Unfassbar unter die Haut gegend. So viele Gedanken
Aurora's voice... OMG!!! ❤❤❤ Always amazing !
It was just s question of time before she expliclitly did a joik! Many of her songs have given me joik vibes though! Thanks😊
En ekstremt fabelaktig artist hyller en annen fabelaktig artist! Takk for dokumentasjonen!
Oh, I am so happy you recorded this. I was getting resigned to this being one of the ‘lost’ Aurora performances, of which there are unfortunately a few.
Those 2 high notes near the end, im sure only dogs & cats can really hear. Just amazing
It reminded me the call of Eagles
It is impressive even through a smartphone. For me it's closest to either a golden eagle or a diver, e.g. Gavia arctica
Spellbinding, would love to see her perform together with Mari! Thank you for sharing this beautiful recording!
@@valdkynd that would be awesome. Mari Boine is in the room having just received her honorary award.
@@2bopi Oh brilliant! ☺
Literally breathtaking 🌀
Thanks for sharing! Great performance. The high notes at 2:40 alone are worth the watch
Thank you so much for sharing this. Aurora seems to have got the joik perfected.
Oh - wie wunderschön! Danke!!!
That "eeeeeeeeeeeeuh eeeeeeeeeeeeuh" hit different.
Takk for at du delte❤️
Elsker denne joiken, og Aurora gjorde det ikke akkurat værre😍😍
Thank you for sharing, Aurora is most beautiful voice i ever seen in my life
Thank you for sharing. This is amazing! ❤
Tack för denna! So beautiful, first time hearing her take on a jojk.
There is a snippet from the tour diary Japan 2024, 3 weeks ago. We could have seen it coming🤗
So very beautiful and appropriate to our times. Thank you for recording and sharing!!!
This is ethereal!
So awesome, thanks for sharing! 👍😍🤟
Wow! Elsker det❤
i simply missed the standing ovations. everything else was perfect.
Wow 😍
Woow thank you for recording! Omg 😍😍😍
Love Aurora ❤
Incredible! Thank you for sharing!
I've never heard this type of indigenous Norwegian music but it's sounds beautiful. Sounds similar to indigenous American music.

Awesome :) ... What happened at 2:40 ? Not a problem with the recording as some people obviously noticed it too :D
It was heard through the PA. Just a minor technical error I guess.
