I have red almost all the originals Lapland journeys diaries from different travelers from the 1500s till 1800s. I have not find a single note that there's ever been a traditional Sami folk dance.
You're right. There seems to be no information available about old folk dances, or just dances and jigs in general, of Western Sami origin, except for the Southern Sami sydis-dance, which only started developing between the 60s and 80s and is heavily based on swing-dancing (it can be seen here th-cam.com/video/PYr-aUxq7UY/w-d-xo.html ). It seems like Western Sami weren't heavy on dancing, and this may be due to them being neighbors to cultures who aren't avid dancers neither (eg. Scandinavians and Finns). This is obviously just a made-up "folk dance" for some sort of a Finnish showcase on Sami culture from the Ohcejohka region. Eastern Orthodox Sami on the other hand have many dances for many different occasions going back centuries, due to them living side-by-side with eg. Karelians, their kinfolk, and Russians, both of whom are known for their dancing.
Yeah, seems our ancestors were more in to singing and drumming instead. Maybe we have had dances but they have been long forgotten. Same thing with nenets people they have forgotten their dances too and the dances they do are more of koryak dances/inuit copied. Maybe here in west life was more though with the conflics with euros so there was no time to dances
Wow! Very sweet the way the Male courts the female but somehow the music sounds gloomy and scary making one uneasy. There is a certain a war undertone to it like the Tibetan dances, or the northern Chinese drums, or the mysterious and dark soundtrack in the Japanese film the Seven Samurai! Somehow it may have to do with the darkness prevalent in the region. I guess it takes time to become accustomed to vernacular music from northern Scandinavia and the Kola Peninsula where the Sami live. So thanks for sharing and keep up the good work in promoting northern European culture!
You here several different musical and rhythmic elements in this music from perhaps every continent ( including north european russia) , and country which protrudes into or is very near the arctic circle . for one, I can hear Native american Indian (who descended from siberians who descended from mongols ) beats in here . around and across the arctic ocean travel between continents and countries high in the northern hemisphere is much shorter in distance .
It does, but for some reason only the yoiking-part made it to the soundtrack for this performance. The melody is from a well-known folk-song called "Guoktelogiovcci" ("twenty-nine" in English), and the words of the legendary first verse go a little something like this: "Guoktelogiovcci ožžot leat dat dáža-nieidda, ovdal go dat vástidit ovttage sámi-niedda". Freely translated into English, this means: "You will need twenty-nine Norse girls, before they are equivalent to just one Sámi girl" 😂
@@Theobroma-p3n The "Deatnugátte nuorat" ("The youth of the Deatnu-river bank") group's version goes like this: 2x Guoktelogiovcci ožžot leat dat dáža-nieidda, Ovdal go dat vástidit ovttage sámi-niedda. Luonddu čáppisvuođa siste lei son bajás šaddan. Eadnistis gal árben lei dan luonddu čáppa moji. 2x You will need twenty-nine Norse girls, Before they match up to a Sámi girl. Inside the beauty of nature, she had grown up. From her mother indeed, she had inherited the beautiful smile of this nature.
Beautiful, humorous, and strong women and men ! A culture to be proud of ❤

Yeah , I remember this from a skit from SCTV featuring the Schmenge brothers
Lapones de Laponia (sin malas intenciones)😊

Thr Sami are somewhat relates to the Inuit so theor music and dances resemble theirs and those of Russian Native people.
Nice :)
Who's this music? how can I find more works of this composer.. ?
Egle Misiukeviciute Mostly folk music does not have a specipic composer...

The melody is from a folk-song called "guoktelogiovcci" ("twenty-nine" in English)
I suppose that the dancers are Finnish.
Anyone else here after watching a simpsons model un bit?
Hmm. Mitä nyt sanoisin. Ei mitenkään alkuperäistä Lappalaista tanssia. Ei ollenkaan.
As a sami person myself, I can tell you all, this is fake. There is no such Sámi folk dance. The finnish love culturally appropriating sami culture.
Hi, Can i ask if what dance is this?
what song is this?
The melody is from a folk-song called "guoktelogiovcci" ("twenty-nine" in English)

@@Theobroma-p3n Lol no problem! You can find many versions of the song on TH-cam if interested 👍
@@0mgskillz96 Do you happen to know the rest of the lyrics? I can't find a decent Sami-to-English translator.

So this is a Lapp dance?
