Vajas - video clip from concert in Prague - Norwegian Sámi music for the new millenium!

2005-04-03
The title of the video clip is: Arctic musical tales from Vajas - A great journey over the tundra and deep into the heart of the warm Sámi people!

Vajas succesful concert was on Friday 19 November 2004 at Divadlo U hasico on Rimska 45 in Prague. According to our earlier review, the concert was a powerful and beautiful journey through yoik, violin, chant and synthesiser. Together it reflects Vajas' courage and willingness to experiment, develop and transform indigenous music. See the video clip from their concert here!

Additional information
Read more about Vajas and listen to some of their songs on their website: Vajas - website.

Listen to the opening of the conventional and the unleashing of ancient music forms. Vajas give you an example of the song "Robbers Chief" on this website. Here you can hear the mix of power from the rock music with tones from the High Romantic period; both merged with yoiking in a Tom Waits style, and generously spiced up with a screaming violin.
