A joik is a unique form of cultural expression for the Sámi People (or Lapps - region stretches over four countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia). This type of Song can be deeply personal or spiritual in nature, often dedicated to a human being, an animal, or a landscape as a personal signature. According to music researchers, joik is one of the longest living music traditions in Europe, and is the folk music of the Sámi People. Its sound is comparable to the traditional chanting of some Native American cultures. This is from the OK Chorale's second public concert in March 2013 at St. Mary's Church, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK.  less
