Description

Why Sami Sing offers a compelling anthropological exploration of yoik, the distinctive singing practice of the Indigenous Sami people in northern Europe's Arctic regions. This academic work investigates how vocal melodies-with or without words-function as transformative practices that alter perception, foster connections with human and non-human presences, and engage meaningfully with the past. The book presents yoik not merely as a musical repertoire created by humans, but as a vocal power received from the environment itself, one that reveals its depths gradually through dedicated practice and lived experience. Published by Routledge as part of the Arctic Worlds series, this study combines rigorous ethnographic research with intimate accounts from Sami practitioners, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how Indigenous knowledge systems are transmitted and expressed through sound. Essential for scholars of anthropology, ethnomusicology, Indigenous studies, and Arctic cultures.

Key Features

Examines yoik, the traditional Sami singing practice, as both cultural expression and spiritual communication within Arctic communities.

Explores how vocal performance functions as a method for altering perception and relating to both human and non-human presences in Sami worldviews.

Published by Routledge as part of the Arctic Worlds series, providing academic rigour in ethnographic study of Indigenous vocal traditions.

Investigates the transmission of Sami musical knowledge through practice and experience rather than formal notation or instruction.

Combines anthropological inquiry with first-hand accounts from Sami practitioners to reveal how yoik connects past, present, and environment.
