Yoiking, being an oft-silenced tradition drawing upon centuries old melodies, has finally met its musical counterpart in the sound of the orchestra. Once again, Marja Mortensson has given the South Saami yoiking tradition a new, fresh dimension to discover. • This session was recorded during Music Meeting Festival in Nijmegen in 2023 • Marja Mortensson - vocals, Daniel Herskedal, brass instruments • 00:00 Piere Åvla - Piere Åvla’s Yoik (Composer: Marja Mortensson, Daniel Herskedal. Lyrics: Marja Mortensson) • 05:01 Maana mov - My Child (Composer: Daniel Herskedal. Lyrics: Marja Mortensson) • 08:58 Raajroe - The Reindeer Caravan (Composer: Marja Mortensson, Daniel Herskedal. Lyrics: Marja Mortensson) • 12:33 Mojhtestasse - Cultural Heirlooms (Composer: Traditional, Marja Mortensson, Daniel Herskedal. Lyrics: Marja Mortensson) • Born into a reindeer herding family, Marja Mortensson’s life, as well as her music, are both firmly rooted in the South Saami way of life. Her songs centre different aspects of her indigenous Saami identity, e.g. the closeness and importance of the environment, as well as both her love for reindeer husbandry and her commitment to the protection and revitalisation of the South Saami language. • • Mortensson’s album, a labour of love, has reached the autumn pastures. For example her album Raajroe – The Reindeer Caravan is steeped in the knowledge of how one not only travels through our Mother Earth, but how one lives on and off her, always caring for her. The music becomes an offering of thanks to nature itself, the reindeer and all ancestors who have carefully traversed these lands before us. These are stories stemming from a time Marja herself has not lived through, but through her commitment to the Saami oral tradition, the yoik and the South Saami language, she is passing on her people’s traditions to future generations. • • Editors: Melchior Huurdeman, Aad van Nieuwkerk, Sakti Khedoe, Kaya Belfor • Camera lighting: Ramon de Boer, Edwin Vermeulen, Jan Rein Heitinga • Sound: Marc Broer/Philip ten Brink • Producer: Jorinde Hiddema/Pippa Harris • Director/Editing Reinier Bruijne • • This video was recorded at Festivalhuis Nijmegen 2023 for VPRO Vrije Geluiden: music program made by the Dutch public broadcast organization VPRO • / vrijegeluiden • twitter, instagram @vrijegeluiden. • #marjamortensson • #vrijegeluiden • #vocalmusic • #yoiker • #samimusic • #danielherskedal • #npo2extra • #nporadioklassiek • #vocalmusic • #yoiking • #musicmeeting • #brass
