Sami is the indigenous population of Sameland, an undefined area in northern Norway, Sweden and Finland and on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. The number of Sami is estimated to be between 80,000 and 100,000. Of these, 50,000-65,000 live in Norway, 20,000-40,000 in Sweden, about 8,000 in Finland and about 2,000 in Russia. Reindeer husbandry is to own and control domestic or semi-wild reindeer and to use them for their livelihoods, for example, by utilizing milk, meat and skins :) Their handicraft is awesome :)Jojk, Sami for singing, is an ancient Sami song, among the oldest in Europe. The term jojka originally comes from the Sami word juoigat. A jojk must not contain any words or sentences, joke melodies sometimes contain only sounds and convey messages and emotions with the help of these :)
@@ReactToTheWorld I was about to write an explanation/summary but Katarina made a great job at that. The only thing i can add is that clothes Jon is wearing are traditional Samí clothing (called Kolt in swedish)
The clothes he is wearing is called gákti or kolt in Swedish. The gákti is a traditional sámi costume and varies very much depending on where you're from, who your family is, if you're a man or woman, old or a child. If you are single or not, married, devorced, or if you have a partner, if you're a teen. If you're confirmed or not and it can even tell if you are rich or not. It's very personal and sacred clothing. And beautiful as anything. It's very hard work as it's personally customized.
Yeah, seems to be the case also when we react to a Filipino artist and people from the Philippines comment on it, and when we react to artists from India, so many people from India comment on it :) Looks like the TH-cam algorithm surfaces our video to people from certain countries if the content is most interesting to them, so that's pretty much why it happens!
@@ReactToTheWorld Yeah ^.^ We dont need words to make ppl feel, see and hear. We have many diffrent singing without words here in sweden. th-cam.com/video/IVuU9r51k9c/w-d-xo.html This is from Dalarna in sweden where the Dalahäst (Dalahorse) also is from. This is where i am from.
NO not the same as kuling, not the same thing at all... Only farms with ordinary cattle did kuling.. To call home the cows.. Joik is only about expressing an essence of a soul, or a feeling or about nature..! Mostly performed by oneself in lonesomeness. Or to family.. Only in recent times performed as entertainment! I come from a long tradition of farming, and is in part sapmii, and I have studied song/singing and music, so I know all about this! joiking and kuling do not even use the same singing techniques!!!
Jon used both chanting and lyrics! Translation is available in english! Just google it!! But both styles are from old times, of ancient origin, that is correct!
We're really proud and loving of Jon-Henrik in Sweden. Everyone, and I really mean everyone, loves him. He'a so true and real to his culture and always show so much love with his songs. He's truly amazing. He also speak a lot about mental health and his own experience within the subject of suicide. No one has nothing but love for this guy. ❤
Everyone except his old bullies and all the sami-haters right? There are people who love him, but to make it out as if there's no hate crimes (people literally torture and kill reindeers and threaten the people), towards sami people to this very day is just not doing Jon Henrik or anyone else but haters a favour.
Aw, I cried whenever I say Adam Alsing with this song in the backround at 6:36 He sadly passed away from corona earlier this year and he was a beloved host in swedish television
I`m Swedish and just want to let you know that he have been in Swedish Melodifestivalen a few times and alway been in the top 5, he is really good and have had a great success after he won "Talang"
Sami culture and jojk reminds me so much of native american culture. Both live in tipis and have a strong connection to nature. They even look similar.
Patrick Nordsvahn we are indigenous as well, so it makes sense! Many indigenous people share similar culture, especially Northern peoples like us Sámi and Iñupiaq, Yakut, etc
Because they are I feel like they come from the Americas a long time ago but even tho I believe they are one of us most people can't accept it.....but they know that they are connected to us natives the teepee and their songs their cheekbones the truth shall set you free. According to a article I read majority of European have Sammi roots somewhere so as an Apache all I can say is Ixehe thank you sammis for coming to the world. They truly make you think...ancient Europe was so different no joke.......I don't think Europeans have an idea literally
Sammi women showed up at standing Rock a few years ago in 2016 and left their Sapmi flag look it up and the Lakota know that they are our brothers and sisters it's a beautiful video ❤️ watch it I recommend it type, Sammi women support at standing Rock it's amazing they support us because they KNOW
One understands the power in music and how to express loss of a dear friend, when a girl from USA also shears some tears for Jons friend. Awesome selection.
There isn’t a single point in this song when i haven’t got goosebumps, and i don’t even know what he is singing, but I feel every word so clear, like wtf
Hes wearing a traditional sapmí outfit called kolt (or gákti as we say) and is performing a jojjk, its not words hes singing, its his emotions. Every native sapmí family has a jojjk of their own. #RáhkistanSapmí :)
I love Jon Henrik, his voice is amazing. Glad to see you being introduced to him! I recommend listening to his song from Melodifestivalen called "En värld full av strider". He sings it together with another Swedish singer called Aninia. It's beautiful and I bet it will give you goosebumps! Another one of his top songs that was released along with his first Album in 2015 is called "Jag är fri" and is definetly worth a listen too. Love your reactions to Sweden, Cheers from a fellow Swede o/
It makes me so so happy to see people from all over the world learning about Sámi culture. From Frozen 1&2 (Kristoff and the Northuldra people are based off Sámis) and Klaus on Netflix, and now this video! Giitu (thank you) for sharing your reaction! Love from Sápmi ❤️💚💛💙
@@ReactToTheWorld Actually, the story in Frozen 2 about the dam and conflict between Arendell and the Northuldra-people is inspired by the story of the Sámi village Máze/Masi in the municipality of Kautokeino in Northern Norway. "During the late 1960s to the early 1980s, the Norwegian government considered building a dam on the local river for the proposed Alta Hydroelectric Power Station which would have flooded the village. This was called the Alta controversy and it had a big impact on the nation's politics at that time." (from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masi,_Norway) The hydroelectric power plant was eventually built, but luckily, thanks to the many protests, the village of Máze was decided to be protected in 1973. And it still stands today. I have a request/recommendation for you guys, if you want to react to more joik. There were made songs and joiks about the protest, and one of the strongest ones is the joik Máze by Mari Boine. The younger artist Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen joiked her own versjon of it on the tv-show Stjernekamp in 2018. And I think it's the most powerful thing I have ever heard. You should definitely check it out: th-cam.com/video/odpREEp-uOo/w-d-xo.html
@@ReactToTheWorld Another song/joik about the subject actually reached the whole way to Eurovision Song Contest in 1981, Sámiid Ædnan. That has more song than joik, but it is also amazing. I bet everyone between 20 and 80 in Norway would recognize the joik if they heard if. Maybe even younger than 20. Sámiid Ædnan means Sámi Soil, and one of the most important lyrics is "Joik har større kraft enn krutt" (Joik has more power than gun powder). Here's a link to the live performance if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/AyMdsQOT8vI/w-d-xo.html
@cloudberry girl! Bures! Nice to see someone from my heartland!! *hand on heart * I have lived in Sápmi myself as a kid, on the Swedish side! I am in love with this performance, because it takes me back to the mountains!! 🙏🍁
Our dear Jon - Henrik who won this competition, has told us that just before this performance he thought about taking his life! He thought he would not win he just wanted to jojking for the last time this jojk.. That was the turn and he became the most popular artist in Sweden with this. He then wrote the jojke "free" which I strongly recommend you to do a reaction video with. He has since performed in the melody festival twice. He belongs to the "indigenous people" here in Sweden. Who live close to nature in a similar way to the Indians in "horns". Which is similar to the American Indians. Like the Indians' music, the Sami jojke has no words when sung, but is a song from the heart and soul. This jojke should not really be interrupted for it to grab hold of one. It is meant to listen for a distance and then it gets a much wider range and goes all the way in, I recomendate for the big feeling. This jojk has a text that I can come back with, if not anyone has written it here. It was the extension of his best friend who died. The most vulnerable group in Sweden for suicide is the Sami population. Who are often ostracized as a group and bullied in the smaller communities in the North where they live, above all. The cold part off Sweden, with snow at all year... The clothes he wears are Sami folk costume. Nothing worn by others in Sweden. The cap, on the other hand, can come across and they joke about it in the program when Carolina Gynning sitting in the jury says about it: Oh what a fine! The others laugh and say that Carolina actually has one to. When you know who Carolina is as a person, you understand it more. I'm so glad you made a video with this particular bombshell video with Jon - Henrik! I became completely enthralled and stuck, there was no one else who would win in my world talent! So amazing! Goes straight into the soul! I went straight to Spotyfy and downloaded his music. From not being "somebody" to Sweden's most beloved artist! 🥰
@@ellah2044 Then you have not read him said that! I now him personely and if you following him with everyting you will read him saying that in interljuvs
I'm Apache and I always drop a few tears because of everything we had to go thru.....we still here always will be we are wise people. I wonder when Europeans will accept their Sammi blood (roots) After all we all come from somewhere, they are the first people of Europe they been there before any major monarchy and European empire. Sapmi homelands are Sweden to North Russia at one point in ancient times they lived all over Europe and migrations pushed them back to their original homelands I got this info from a Sammi on Instagram this history is not accepted not even by their own aka Europeans its a shame. But hopefully one day that will change sapmi also have a very deep connection with us native Americans as i can see with my own apache eyes, the truth shall set you free. "When man turns away from nature his heart turns cold" A Sioux lakota proverb I believe..,...I forgive because I'm an Apache man who loves these sammi people I have their back for now on to the point where I'm going to finland this year no joke. Just to help and support them then come back home to new mexico
Hi Im Tina, I am in part saamii/sapmii but people were not very accepted If one embrazed being sapmii.. My best friend was fully sapmii.. .. But while growing up, I was not really aware I was sapmii too.. Until I got older and understood.. But bullies could never stop me from being a friend of my sapmii friend, or stop me fromm getting to know my sapmii cultural heritage! We must stay strong and together and I am also strong in Christ! And so proud of my heritage too! My 💖is with all minorities!
@@DeeboWRLD121 he is a Colombian rainforest indian!! Like native americans, previously called indians!! He was adopted by a sapmii couple, so now, calling him self sapmii, is his birthright!!
When you see this clip take one minute of silence for our dear presenter and host of the show Adam Alsing that did past away of Covid-19. Rest in peace but you will never be forgotten! We Swedes will always love you!
that translation at 3:15 is wrong. He doesn't say he was bullied because he is from another country. he says, Perhaps because i am Same (Sami people) and had Rain dears.
You need to react to Jon Henrik Fjällgrens performance in Melodifestivalen (Eurovision) with the song "En värld full av strider"!!. in the song they combine Swedish with jojk and it is just magical 🇸🇪🇸🇪
I am from Jämtland and watched The finale with Daniels mom or relative i believe(i don't know her it was The first and last time i met her) and it was very emotional.
4 ปีที่แล้ว +1
It was my brother , and we had our wintercabin there. But we lived in Oviken and Östersund :)
Roger Persson um... that’s the point with reacting. If you don’t want anyone to interrupt then just watch the original video🙄 it’s probably linked in the description
You need to react to Måns and Petra Eurovision Song Contest Song love love peace peace! It was the entertainment between the results in the final some years ago but is so dam good and funny! Pls pls pls, you won’t regret it! 🇸🇪
I think you have to have watched a lot of Eurovision before one watches that though, because it´s so much reference humour and in-jokes, that you won´t get if you´re not familiar with Eurovision. It´s super funny if you know Eurovision, it´s made for people who are familiar with Eurovision, to recognize all the funny stuff. I think Måns and Petra's song "What is Eurovision?" is more suited for Americans with no prior knowledge of Eurovision.
You guys should react to swedish melodifestivalen and it is where Sweden are choosing what song will be in Eurovision every year. Jon Henrik have been there 3 times :)
An easy wikipedia search " joik or yoik is a traditional form of song in Sámi music performed by the Sámi people of Sapmi in Northern Europe. Originally, joik referred to only one of several Sami singing styles, but in English the word is often used to refer to all types of traditional Sami singing. As an art form, each joik is meant to reflect or evoke a person, animal, or place." Jon Henrik Fjällgren is the singer and today he is very popular. He sings in Swesih too. He is on Spotify people. :-)
He is pretty popular in Sweden and has performed several times in Melodifestivalen, placing top 5 in the finale every time. So much emotion in his voice and performances
Jon has lost many friends in suicide, he was going to take his life after this performance but the responds of the audience made him change his mind. Be strong Jon you are amazing.
jonas aronsson very true…sadly it is a big problem in indigenous communities. Listen to Sofia Jannok’s song Áhpi-she is a Swedish Sámi artist and it is a song about the suicide of indigenous people. Very beautiful and sad. m.th-cam.com/video/hr13WV7UkgA/w-d-xo.html
There are both chanting and also lyrics in samii/sapmii in his song.. Im in part sapmii, nordic, Celtic and latino. Samii or sapmii as we call it, is a native aborigial ethnicity spread out on their own territory across norwegian, swedish, finnish, and russian broders.. Mostly up north in each country, but in Sweden and Norway there are sapmii people even more southern areas.. These people are comparable to native americans in USA and Canada, and are considered tiny minorities I have never heard about sapmii people in Denmark though, allthough it is a nordic country.. My ä dad was danish. Jon Henriks outfit is a traditional sapmii outfit, and not common in or nearby cities when speaking of large cities in especially the more southern parts of Sweden, so the jury might or might not have seen pictures of such outfits.
I think it would benefit you to know that the people are called Sami (alternatively Sámi or Saami). The land of the Sami is called Sapmi. Sapmi is thus not what the Sami people are called.
The sami is the Swedish native's, like the American's Indians. And the reindeer you eat and use the horn and other to make things with, like clothes, knifes etc. The meat is really delicious!
Hi. I'm from Sweden so when someone is reacting to Swedish things I have to watch :P And I have to say that this is a really good reaction channel where you actually react to things and not just watching the video and then go "wow that was crazy" at the end, and then end the video. You just got a new sub! And please react to more Swedish things ;)
He won the talent show and has performed in the Swedish song contest called "Melodifestivalen" to try and win and represent Sweden in Eurovision Song Contest three times. Once in 2015 where he came in second place and almost got to represent Sweden and again in 2017 and then again this year (2019) 😊
Here comes the lyrics roughly translated to english, thought someone would like to read it. Do you go with me still, my dear friend, Although I no longer see you? Are you still here on earth, Just as you remain in my heart? I lie there and ponder, Its a deafly soundless around me. The tears break through and falls, In the memories of you. An angel that was left behind, Have now got its wings. Where do you fly now, my angel? Where do you fly now? Are you flying through the pearly gates, tell me? Or to the worlds end? Are you flying beside me? Or am I alone now? Where ever you are my friend. Where ever the path takes you. Promise me you'll wait there, Until we meet again. I hope you're happy now. As i was with you, The pain you have suffered, i hope its now gone. Soar free, my dear friend. You're free now. And until we meet again, Farewell, my angel.
He was wearing a traditional sami outfit, it's not common to see, people here (in sweden) usually wear similar as people jn the us, a jojk usually doesn't contain any swedish words, they barely even use sami words, he is now a on and off celeb, everyone knows who he is, he compete jn other music competitions very often, Jon henrik fjällgren has spotify songs that I listen to a lot some times
This is the first time we saw Jon Henrik on the tv and the first time he sang, now he is very good, he won Swedens lets dance to and he has been in melodifestivalen a few times and almost got to the finale!!!! He is so good, i am very happy You bring up more Swedish people!!! 🇸🇪 Thank You ♥️
thank you it's nice to hear that people appretiate real swedish culture not the fake culture we have today but the real swedish culture the sapmi culture!
Jojk is not about words or lyrics. It's a means to express emotion, so there are some way to chant more happier feelings and some to express sader feelings.
For American viewers. The name of the competition is "Talang Sverige” which means ”Talent Sweden”. Jon won the entire song contest without singing a single line of lyrics.
He did sing several lines of text, it's just in the Sami language so it doesn't sound like a language we recognize. Så jo, han sjunger visst text, den bara hörs dåligt
Only one person in the jury is actually music. Shirley Clamp that have been a back-up singer for Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Brittanny Spears. Sometimes even singing instead of them.
The song’s lyric Are you still going with me, my dear friend, Although I no longer see you? Are you still here on earth, as you are in my heart? I'm still pondering, It's terribly quiet all around me. Tears break out and fall, In the mind of you. An angel that was forgotten here, Have now got their wings. Where are you flying now, my angel? Where are you flying now? Are you flying through the sky gate, say? Or to the end of the world? Are you flying next to me? Or am I alone now? Wherever you are, my friend. Wherever you go. Promise you're waiting there, Until I meet you. I hope you are happy now. as I was with you. And the pain you have suffered, Hope I am forgotten. Float freely, my dear friend. You're free now. And until we meet again, Bye, my angel.
There are no lyrics to this song. Jojk is singing without lyrics. Jon Henrik himself said that "the lyrics people expect to find exist only in my heart and in my history, and no one else can read it".
Anna Eriksson Yes, I understand that. But this poem that people keep posting everywhere has nothing to do with this song. Jon Henrik has said so himself, and he has respectfully asked that people stop spreading it around as if it is somehow connected to his song. Because it isn't.
Pls react to swedish linus svenning when he is Singing bröder that is a song he made for his brother that died and its so beautiful and he was on melodifestivalen with that song and he has made alot more music and he is just amasing.. Ge is amasing as a singer but he is also amasing in real life and yes i have meet him many Times cus my old best friends moms best friend was or still is his manager and Linus has been living in my friends old house and I have been talking to him and he is really a sweet and wonderfull person 😍
I think he is singing in Swedish but like an old swedish or something. It is like a different old language in Sweden, they speak it in the north part of Sweden it’s called Sapmi but like no one in Sweden understands it lol😂😂
Also, it's not really older than Swedish, just a completely different language family. (The sami use many loan words from Swedish though, just like the Finnish do. And they usually speak almost perfect Swedish as well.)
The reindeer hoarder part made me cry laugh! I pictured someone with an apartment full of reindeers climbing around on the sofa, on the bed, the table and everywhere, so cramped they couldn´t move. The sami version of a crazy cat lady. And yes, reindeer meat is eaten in Scandinavia. It´s quite tasty. Reindeer milk exist, but it´s pretty uncommon nowadays. I live in Stockholm, so I´ve never seen reindeer milk. It´s not like you can find it in supermarkets, like the reindeer meat.
If you're a hockey fan, Börje Salming is a "Swedish same" or Swedish sámi and I'd say one of the most famous of them. Played for Toronto Maple Leafs for 16 yrs ( Detroit Red Wings one season ) and first Swedish Hockey player inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame 1996.
He is also singing in South Sámi language, I think he sings "Manne måjhtan datnem, mov voelpe" (I speak Ume-Sámi so this might be a bit faulty) which translates to "I remember you, my friend" or "I'm reminded of you, my friend". And Sweden actually colonialized the Sámi people with lots of losses of our own culture, traditions, religion and languages. There is still much racism and oppression from the state/swedes towards the Sámi. Which makes this song even stronger and Jon-Henrik even braver! ♥
Någon svensk här?

Another one of his top songs that was released along with his first Album in 2015 is called "Jag är fri" and is definetly worth a listen too.
Love your reactions to Sweden,
Cheers from a fellow Swede o/
It makes me so so happy to see people from all over the world learning about Sámi culture. From Frozen 1&2 (Kristoff and the Northuldra people are based off Sámis) and Klaus on Netflix, and now this video!
Giitu (thank you) for sharing your reaction! Love from Sápmi
❤️💚💛💙
We just reading an article about the people from the Frozen movies are based on the Sami, which I never knew before!
@@ReactToTheWorld Actually, the story in Frozen 2 about the dam and conflict between Arendell and the Northuldra-people is inspired by the story of the Sámi village Máze/Masi in the municipality of Kautokeino in Northern Norway.
"During the late 1960s to the early 1980s, the Norwegian government considered building a dam on the local river for the proposed Alta Hydroelectric Power Station which would have flooded the village. This was called the Alta controversy and it had a big impact on the nation's politics at that time." (from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masi,_Norway)
The hydroelectric power plant was eventually built, but luckily, thanks to the many protests, the village of Máze was decided to be protected in 1973. And it still stands today.
I have a request/recommendation for you guys, if you want to react to more joik.
There were made songs and joiks about the protest, and one of the strongest ones is the joik Máze by Mari Boine.
The younger artist Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen joiked her own versjon of it on the tv-show Stjernekamp in 2018. And I think it's the most powerful thing I have ever heard. You should definitely check it out: th-cam.com/video/odpREEp-uOo/w-d-xo.html
@@ReactToTheWorld Another song/joik about the subject actually reached the whole way to Eurovision Song Contest in 1981, Sámiid Ædnan. That has more song than joik, but it is also amazing. I bet everyone between 20 and 80 in Norway would recognize the joik if they heard if. Maybe even younger than 20.
Sámiid Ædnan means Sámi Soil, and one of the most important lyrics is "Joik har større kraft enn krutt" (Joik has more power than gun powder).
Here's a link to the live performance if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/AyMdsQOT8vI/w-d-xo.html
@cloudberry girl! Bures! Nice to see someone from my heartland!! *hand on heart * I have lived in Sápmi myself as a kid, on the Swedish side! I am in love with this performance, because it takes me back to the mountains!! 🙏🍁
Our dear Jon - Henrik who won this competition, has told us that just before this performance he thought about taking his life! He thought he would not win he just wanted to jojking for the last time this jojk.. That was the turn and he became the most popular artist in Sweden with this. He then wrote the jojke "free" which I strongly recommend you to do a reaction video with. He has since performed in the melody festival twice. He belongs to the "indigenous people" here in Sweden. Who live close to nature in a similar way to the Indians in "horns". Which is similar to the American Indians. Like the Indians' music, the Sami jojke has no words when sung, but is a song from the heart and soul. This jojke should not really be interrupted for it to grab hold of one. It is meant to listen for a distance and then it gets a much wider range and goes all the way in, I recomendate for the big feeling. This jojk has a text that I can come back with, if not anyone has written it here. It was the extension of his best friend who died. The most vulnerable group in Sweden for suicide is the Sami population. Who are often ostracized as a group and bullied in the smaller communities in the North where they live, above all. The cold part off Sweden, with snow at all year... The clothes he wears are Sami folk costume. Nothing worn by others in Sweden. The cap, on the other hand, can come across and they joke about it in the program when Carolina Gynning sitting in the jury says about it: Oh what a fine! The others laugh and say that Carolina actually has one to. When you know who Carolina is as a person, you understand it more. I'm so glad you made a video with this particular bombshell video with Jon - Henrik! I became completely enthralled and stuck, there was no one else who would win in my world talent! So amazing! Goes straight into the soul! I went straight to Spotyfy and downloaded his music. From not being "somebody" to Sweden's most beloved artist! 🥰
anna B lie
@@ellah2044 ?
anna B he wasn’t going to kill himself! But he’s a great artist
@@ellah2044 are you from Sweden?
@@ellah2044 Then you have not read him said that! I now him personely and if you following him with everyting you will read him saying that in interljuvs
I still remember when we saw this on the tv and it was almost like you could feel sweden stand still. Man the tears when hearing it
I'm Apache and I always drop a few tears because of everything we had to go thru.....we still here always will be we are wise people. I wonder when Europeans will accept their Sammi blood (roots) After all we all come from somewhere, they are the first people of Europe they been there before any major monarchy and European empire. Sapmi homelands are Sweden to North Russia at one point in ancient times they lived all over Europe and migrations pushed them back to their original homelands I got this info from a Sammi on Instagram this history is not accepted not even by their own aka Europeans its a shame. But hopefully one day that will change sapmi also have a very deep connection with us native Americans as i can see with my own apache eyes, the truth shall set you free.
"When man turns away from nature his heart turns cold"
A Sioux lakota proverb I believe..,...I forgive because I'm an Apache man who loves these sammi people I have their back for now on to the point where I'm going to finland this year no joke. Just to help and support them then come back home to new mexico
Anonymous Native American I’m touched by your comments. I wish you all the best in your journey ahead🙏🏼
Jon is not even sami by blood he is from Chile
Hi Im Tina, I am in part saamii/sapmii but people were not very accepted If one embrazed being sapmii.. My best friend was fully sapmii..
.. But while growing up, I was not really aware I was sapmii too.. Until I got older and understood.. But bullies could never stop me from being a friend of my sapmii friend, or stop me fromm getting to know my sapmii cultural heritage! We must stay strong and together and I am also strong in Christ! And so proud of my heritage too! My 💖is with all minorities!
@@DeeboWRLD121 he is a Colombian rainforest indian!! Like native americans, previously called indians!! He was adopted by a sapmii couple, so now, calling him self sapmii, is his birthright!!
@@DeeboWRLD121 NO he is a rainforest indian/native, adopted by a sweet sapmii /samii couple living in the Mountains in the middle of Sweden!!!
When you see this clip take one minute of silence for our dear presenter and host of the show Adam Alsing that did past away of Covid-19. Rest in peace but you will never be forgotten! We Swedes will always love you!
I live in Sweden I been there when John Henrik performed
that translation at 3:15 is wrong. He doesn't say he was bullied because he is from another country. he says, Perhaps because i am Same (Sami people) and had Rain dears.
The translatior constantly tries to write the same meaning with other words. Which is wrong.
He said "Maybe it was because I came from a different country and.. or that I was Sami and had reindeers" th-cam.com/video/woEcdqqbEVg/w-d-xo.html
This is the song that I play on my headset everytime I go to my parents grave. Though it was a song he made for his bestfriend when he lost him.
You need to react to Jon Henrik Fjällgrens performance in Melodifestivalen (Eurovision) with the song "En värld full av strider"!!. in the song they combine Swedish with jojk and it is just magical 🇸🇪🇸🇪
Seeing this right now and adam alsing that died due to covid-19. And this song.
I live in Ljungdalen where his friend Daniel lived and Jon Henrik is a friend of my dad so I have met him a couple of times
I am from Jämtland and watched The finale with Daniels mom or relative i believe(i don't know her it was The first and last time i met her) and it was very emotional.
It was my brother , and we had our wintercabin there. But we lived in Oviken and Östersund :)
Omg you desstroyed the whole performance by pausing and talking every 10 second. 👎
Roger Persson um... that’s the point with reacting. If you don’t want anyone to interrupt then just watch the original video🙄 it’s probably linked in the description
@@astridpinehaven3862 yes, if you pause one or maybe two times.
You need to react to Måns and Petra Eurovision Song Contest Song love love peace peace! It was the entertainment between the results in the final some years ago but is so dam good and funny! Pls pls pls, you won’t regret it! 🇸🇪
I think you have to have watched a lot of Eurovision before one watches that though, because it´s so much reference humour and in-jokes, that you won´t get if you´re not familiar with Eurovision. It´s super funny if you know Eurovision, it´s made for people who are familiar with Eurovision, to recognize all the funny stuff.
I think Måns and Petra's song "What is Eurovision?" is more suited for Americans with no prior knowledge of Eurovision.
You guys should react to swedish melodifestivalen and it is where Sweden are choosing what song will be in Eurovision every year. Jon Henrik have been there 3 times
:)
AND react to his latest song The Way You Make Me Feel :D
He has also won ”Lets dance” in Sweden.
They now it better as "dancing with the stars"
Michael Wiskman va??
@@Evelinadahlstrom123 He won 2018 Let's dance.
You should listen to him in the Swedish melodifestivalen
I get goosebumps as soon as I hear the beginning of this one. I usually put it on when I need a good cry.
Yeah... we feel you on this one
Du är inte ensam. Så vackert!
He is a well loved artist now. He has many cool songs
Jon Henrik has a lot of different songs and they're all in this joik genre. He even participated in Melodifestivalen, or Eurovision, a couple times
An easy wikipedia search " joik or yoik is a traditional form of song in Sámi music performed by the Sámi people of Sapmi in Northern Europe. Originally, joik referred to only one of several Sami singing styles, but in English the word is often used to refer to all types of traditional Sami singing. As an art form, each joik is meant to reflect or evoke a person, animal, or place." Jon Henrik Fjällgren is the singer and today he is very popular. He sings in Swesih too. He is on Spotify people. :-)
He is pretty popular in Sweden and has performed several times in Melodifestivalen, placing top 5 in the finale every time. So much emotion in his voice and performances
När vi lyssnade på detta i skolan var det någon som gråt i 30 min
whoever said he isn't speaking was dumb. He's definitely speaking. Jojk is a form of prayer
I heard he is actually going to the US to try to start a career overseas.
It's true, I saw it on the news just a couple of days ago!
Jon has lost many friends in suicide, he was going to take his life after this performance but the responds of the audience made him change his mind. Be strong Jon you are amazing.
He was in a show called “renees brygga “ and told her a longer story of being bullied and suicide thoughts .
jonas aronsson very true…sadly it is a big problem in indigenous communities. Listen to Sofia Jannok’s song Áhpi-she is a Swedish Sámi artist and it is a song about the suicide of indigenous people. Very beautiful and sad.
m.th-cam.com/video/hr13WV7UkgA/w-d-xo.html
Watching this 4 in the morning. Man i haven't heard this song in a while, crying now thanks! Haha goodnight swedish lad out
Same😂 its 4:44
There are both chanting and also lyrics in samii/sapmii in his song.. Im in part sapmii, nordic, Celtic and latino. Samii or sapmii as we call it, is a native aborigial ethnicity spread out on their own territory across norwegian, swedish, finnish, and russian broders.. Mostly up north in each country, but in Sweden and Norway there are sapmii people even more southern areas.. These people are comparable to native americans in USA and Canada, and are considered tiny minorities
I have never heard about sapmii people in Denmark though, allthough it is a nordic country.. My ä dad was danish.
Jon Henriks outfit is a traditional sapmii outfit, and not common in or nearby cities when speaking of large cities in especially the more southern parts of Sweden, so the jury might or might not have seen pictures of such outfits.
I think it would benefit you to know that the people are called Sami (alternatively Sámi or Saami). The land of the Sami is called Sapmi. Sapmi is thus not what the Sami people are called.
I would highly recommend watching any of his performances from Melodifestivalen! They're all phenomenal!
He sings to his bestfriend who passed away :(
He is also adopted from latin america and was kind of bullied for it, so kind of ruff upbringing, and then his friend died.
He’s and artist now and has competed three times in our “melodifestivalen” our way to get our contestant to Eurovision.
The sami is the Swedish native's, like the American's Indians. And the reindeer you eat and use the horn and other to make things with, like clothes, knifes etc. The meat is really delicious!
Hi. I'm from Sweden so when someone is reacting to Swedish things I have to watch :P And I have to say that this is a really good reaction channel where you actually react to things and not just watching the video and then go "wow that was crazy" at the end, and then end the video. You just got a new sub! And please react to more Swedish things ;)
Adam Alsing💔(all Swedish people understand)
He won the talent show and has performed in the Swedish song contest called "Melodifestivalen" to try and win and represent Sweden in Eurovision Song Contest three times. Once in 2015 where he came in second place and almost got to represent Sweden and again in 2017 and then again this year (2019) 😊
I get goosebumps every time I hear this song! (and yes I'm Swedish lol)
Its not a traditional swedish clothing thingy but like hes a "same" and its a traditional costume there
Here comes the lyrics roughly translated to english, thought someone would like to read it.
Do you go with me still, my dear friend,
Although I no longer see you?
Are you still here on earth,
Just as you remain in my heart?
I lie there and ponder,
Its a deafly soundless around me.
The tears break through and falls,
In the memories of you.
An angel that was left behind,
Have now got its wings.
Where do you fly now, my angel?
Where do you fly now?
Are you flying through the pearly gates, tell me?
Or to the worlds end?
Are you flying beside me?
Or am I alone now?
Where ever you are my friend.
Where ever the path takes you.
Promise me you'll wait there,
Until we meet again.
I hope you're happy now.
As i was with you,
The pain you have suffered,
i hope its now gone.
Soar free, my dear friend.
You're free now.
And until we meet again,
Farewell, my angel.
Like this if the should litsen to Loren and her song Euphoria from Melodifestivalen😂😂
He won the Swedish version of The Swedish got Talent that year🤗❤
He was wearing a traditional sami outfit, it's not common to see, people here (in sweden) usually wear similar as people jn the us, a jojk usually doesn't contain any swedish words, they barely even use sami words, he is now a on and off celeb, everyone knows who he is, he compete jn other music competitions very often, Jon henrik fjällgren has spotify songs that I listen to a lot some times
This is the first time we saw Jon Henrik on the tv and the first time he sang, now he is very good, he won Swedens lets dance to and he has been in melodifestivalen a few times and almost got to the finale!!!! He is so good, i am very happy You bring up more Swedish people!!! 🇸🇪 Thank You ♥️
He was on Swedens Let's Dance?? And won?? Gotta check that out!
React To The World And sorry he won that year of Swedens got talent i cant remember the year sorry
@@ReactToTheWorld pls react to his first melodifestival its so good
Let's Dance is called "Dancing with the stars" in the US, but it's the same show, just having different names in different parts of the world :)
You need to react to his performances from MELODIFESTIVALEN 2015, 2017 and 2019. The one from 2017 is my favorite!
Please react to "En värld full av strider" with Jon Henrik 😁
R.I.P Adam Alsing!
Daniel was a relative of mine.. My second cousins son.. even if I didnt know him.. this really moves me.. Love Jon-Henriks jojk!
Cousins on our channel? His brother also posted here. This is bringing people from all over the world together.
And my brother lived with him when it happend. We miss you Daniel.
thank you it's nice to hear that people appretiate real swedish culture not the fake culture we have today but the real swedish culture the sapmi culture!
He sing about his dead best friend.
Jojk is not about words or lyrics. It's a means to express emotion, so there are some way to chant more happier feelings and some to express sader feelings.
For American viewers. The name of the competition is "Talang Sverige” which means ”Talent Sweden”. Jon won the entire song contest without singing a single line of lyrics.
He did sing several lines of text, it's just in the Sami language so it doesn't sound like a language we recognize. Så jo, han sjunger visst text, den bara hörs dåligt
I feel like this video is really appropriate since Jon just said he had plans on going to America to work on his music.
He is a famous singer here in Sweden now.
Jag är svensk
Sami people kinda have same or samiliar history as the Indians in usa:) back in time.
Jon Henrik Fjällgren - The Way You Make Me Feel (feat. Elin Oskal)
You should listen to his song: en värld full av strider(feat Aninia). Link: th-cam.com/video/0WWjx54GePE/w-d-xo.html
indeed, you HAVE TO listen this song
Ja helt klart
Im a Sami from norway
I know the feeling when your best friend dies 😢
We're really sorry to hear this... hope you are hanging in there 😢
Only one person in the jury is actually music. Shirley Clamp that have been a back-up singer for Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Brittanny Spears. Sometimes even singing instead of them.
The song’s lyric
Are you still going with me, my dear friend,
Although I no longer see you?
Are you still here on earth,
as you are in my heart?
I'm still pondering,
It's terribly quiet all around me.
Tears break out and fall,
In the mind of you.
An angel that was forgotten here,
Have now got their wings.
Where are you flying now, my angel?
Where are you flying now?
Are you flying through the sky gate, say?
Or to the end of the world?
Are you flying next to me?
Or am I alone now?
Wherever you are, my friend.
Wherever you go.
Promise you're waiting there,
Until I meet you.
I hope you are happy now.
as I was with you.
And the pain you have suffered,
Hope I am forgotten.
Float freely, my dear friend.
You're free now.
And until we meet again,
Bye, my angel.
❤️
There are no lyrics to this song. Jojk is singing without lyrics. Jon Henrik himself said that "the lyrics people expect to find exist only in my heart and in my history, and no one else can read it".
ImaPseudonym 91 it is sami language so there are words! Its like singing opera. You can not really hear what is sung but there are words.
Anna Eriksson Yes, I understand that. But this poem that people keep posting everywhere has nothing to do with this song. Jon Henrik has said so himself, and he has respectfully asked that people stop spreading it around as if it is somehow connected to his song. Because it isn't.
Hey you know what Swedens got talent/ svenska talang has started
Pls react to swedish linus svenning when he is Singing bröder that is a song he made for his brother that died and its so beautiful and he was on melodifestivalen with that song and he has made alot more music and he is just amasing.. Ge is amasing as a singer but he is also amasing in real life and yes i have meet him many Times cus my old best friends moms best friend was or still is his manager and Linus has been living in my friends old house and I have been talking to him and he is really a sweet and wonderfull person 😍
I think he is singing in Swedish but like an old swedish or something. It is like a different old language in Sweden, they speak it in the north part of Sweden it’s called Sapmi but like no one in Sweden understands it lol😂😂
That language family (samiska) is not Swedish at all. It is distantly related to Finnish though.
Also, it's not really older than Swedish, just a completely different language family. (The sami use many loan words from Swedish though, just like the Finnish do. And they usually speak almost perfect Swedish as well.)
He doesnt even sing words
His song brings me in tears every time I lisining.
It is remember me of two close frends of mine that dide some years ago
Ah yes , english very is good
@@mehmasaulat3532 ever considered that not all people on TH-cam are from the us?
6:36 RIP Adam Alsing
The reindeer hoarder part made me cry laugh!
I pictured someone with an apartment full of reindeers climbing around on the sofa, on the bed, the table and everywhere, so cramped they couldn´t move. The sami version of a crazy cat lady.
And yes, reindeer meat is eaten in Scandinavia. It´s quite tasty. Reindeer milk exist, but it´s pretty uncommon nowadays. I live in Stockholm, so I´ve never seen reindeer milk. It´s not like you can find it in supermarkets, like the reindeer meat.
"Sami version of a crazy cat lady"... now that made us cry laughing 😂
He won the whole thing that year👍😊 He also have music on spotify if you want to listen for more.
In 6:36, he is the a beloved host called Adam Alsing, he past away in covid this year. RIP Adam, Sweden misses you.
Nån mer som är same här?❤️💚💛💙
If you're a hockey fan, Börje Salming is a "Swedish same" or Swedish sámi and I'd say one of the most famous of them. Played for Toronto Maple Leafs for 16 yrs ( Detroit Red Wings one season ) and first Swedish Hockey player inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame 1996.
He is also singing in South Sámi language, I think he sings "Manne måjhtan datnem, mov voelpe" (I speak Ume-Sámi so this might be a bit faulty) which translates to "I remember you, my friend" or "I'm reminded of you, my friend". And Sweden actually colonialized the Sámi people with lots of losses of our own culture, traditions, religion and languages. There is still much racism and oppression from the state/swedes towards the Sámi. Which makes this song even stronger and Jon-Henrik even braver! ♥
I love your reaction, the reason why Swedish People dont understand what he sings is because Sami language is more like finnish
Omg, such a long time ago. Daniel was my younger brother. 10 years since he passed now.
For real? Sorry to hear... 😢
What makes this video even sadder is that Adam Alsing (the bearded guy who leads the show) passed away a few months ago from Covid-19.
Jon is a Sam/Sami, they are the native people of Sweden, Norway and Finland. Similar to the Indians in America. Or the Mayan in Mexico, etc.
You guys should check out two Amazing jojk singers from Sweden, Maxida Märak and Sofia Jannok.

The suit is no ”swedish” it is ”samisk”
It’s like yodelling
Its not a swedish outfit
