4 Strings Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1411406770' post='2559229'] Was it a cover version of this? [media]http://youtu.be/WxY47jh9owA[/media] [/quote] Yep, the song was written for Lori, but, I have to say, I prefer the cover! I really like Roberta's voice and phrasing anyway but I also I like the arrangement more. I think this is an amazing song, words and music. Quote

Earbrass Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Hedningarna (translates as "Heathens"): I just discovered this Swedish/Finnish band. This track from the early 1990's blends Saami "joiks" (a kind of sung chant) with Finnish singing which (I think, judging from the rhythms and limited scale used) is roughly in the traditional style which has been used for centuries to pass on their folk tales. Finland is much more in touch with its oral tradition than we are, as their great national myths were only collected and written down for the first time in the nineteenth century, principally in the "Kalevala", an epic tale of shamans and spirits. Anyone from Finland care to add to or correct any of this, or tell us what the girls are singing here?

BassTractor Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Thanks for posting! It's a band I like, but that I've heard little of the last decade. But you kicked me into action again: Must . Search . CD . Shelves. As to the lyrics, this is what LyricWikia says: Oh thou Ukko and thou Akka Weavers all of winds and weather Pray I do to a black man Raise a wind and make it whirling Raise a wind and make it whirling Make a gale that's great and growing Tear up tar stumps off the roadside Pull the pine trees off the lake shore Break the tops of giant oak trees Crash their robust roots to splinter Rise thou wind to blow and bellow Gust and gale to whirl all over Rise thou wind to blow and bellow Rage and rave, thou angry weather, Blow thou wind through more than six years Rage through summers more than seven Rapids rise to rush in torrents Aged waters to run swiftly And thou self rush like the rapids And prevail without a hindrance Pray I do to a black man Raise a wind and make it whirling Raise a wind and make it whirling Make a gale that's great and growing Quote

Maybe you'd be a good person to ask about other Nordic folk/trad/fusion bands or musicians - it's something I'm quite into at the moment. I've already got stuff by: Alban Faust Väsen Värttina Virelai (Danish medieval / traditional band) Hoven Droven Hedningarna Emilia Amper (superb nykelharpa player) and of course the fabulous Mari Boine any others you'd recommend?

BassTractor Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) You're welcome. I made a spelling error though. It's either Hinn Íslenski Thursaflokkur or Hinn Íslenzki Thursaflokkur, depending on where you look, and not with both the "s" and the "z". BTW, on Iceland, the last word in the name is spelled with the Icelandic character "Þ", but normally searches work well when spelling it with "th". Here are some other names provided to me. Don't know any of them myself. Ale Möller Sofia Jannok Karin Kjellman & Ulf Grufberg Molly på rymmen Edited October 2, 2014 by BassTractor Quote
BassTractor Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Oh, and what about Icelandic band Árstíðir ? I think they have been on these BC shores before. Quote
