"Very Likable" more please! I need more variation in my aboriginal collection.

Had to move it up to an 8 after a few listening's now, very entrancing
Absolutely love this.
This got played to death on the radio when it first came out! 
Sitting here drumming along. Thanks RP!
What a beautiful tune.

Exactly my thoughts!
Thanks RP
Whenever I hear a song being performed in an ancient language, I feel like the singer is reaching inside my consciousness and massaging my soul. I dispense with the need to understand what the song is about and let it flow over me. This song did this to me, I felt rooted to the earth while I listened. Wonderful.
godlike
What's up with the endlessly boring repetitive chanting? A bit more imagination please?
Where'd... you hide all the sheep?

Cool sound. Thank you Alanna.
Hey RP thanks for going out and curating the stuff for us we would not otherwise be exposed to!
A bit on the monotonous side - same, same, same - but others would say it is a trance inducing chant. Personally not a fan of chants but this does have interesting textures and harmonics.
Definitely not a 6.8. I love it when this comes up.
6.8? No way. Strong 10.
another perfect example of how music transcends borders, cultures and even time . . .
Joik: an underappreciated Scandinavian genre. It's a little indigenous and a little something else...I can't quite ever put my finger on.
She needs to marry me 'or' I need to marry her!
kul melodi
Not her best song, but nevertheless beautiful 
whats that crazy cat rythm instrument?

No translation necessary for that timeless wail that comes from deep in the soul/conciouness of all semites, bothers and sisters all, despite superficial appearances, religious/political manipulation, and other craziness.

Faltam musicas brasileiras.

Por favor considerem estes músicos em seu repertório.
Obrigado, Luiz Gonzaga de Andrade

Doh. Saw the artist name and wondered why this didn't sound very Clannad-ish. Brain fart. It's Mari Boine, not Moya Brennan.

This type of track sets RP apart from even the best "adult album alternative station". It may not be a great song but wow, it's interesting!
Interesting. I wasn't paying attention when I started noticing, and liking this. So, when I went to see what was playing, I was surprised to see "Norwegian" -- though, once I saw "Norwegian" I was not surprised to see it followed by "Sami".

This is the best part of listening to RP, hearing beautiful noise like this - stuff that I'd never hear any where else. "Kill ugly radio, they won't play this." - F. Zappa
1 2 many YoYo's for me.
A great example of the rich but woefully suppressed Sami culture from my native Scandinavia. Not only is the tune beautiful, but if you spend 5 minutes reading up on the background, it becomes even more meaningful. Only a generation ago, their songs and their language were more or less banned by religious powers. The accompanying Wikipedia article has some references to this.

It's a decent tool to get the gist of texts, but I wouldn't fancy it for songs or poetry.
Not sure if a human or a machine did this, but here's a translation. It leaves one word untranslated, but down in the comments someone says: "Vuoi" is just an interjection, I would propose that the closest English equivalent for it might be something like "oh".

+1 on this song, with all the negative comments, and kudos as ever to RP for bringing such music to my ears :)
I'm in a thatched mud-walled hut. It is dark. Everybody is drunk and their feet are pounding on the earthen floor in rhythm to the chanting chorus.
Oops. Wrong continent.
So tell me, do the Sami drink as much as their southern neighbours?

The puking emoticon is a file located here:
https://www.radioparadise.coms/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/icon_puke.gif
The filename is icon_puke.gif, and it's location is /tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/.
So to banish the puking icon, all you have to do is find a way to block that file in whatever web browser you use. In Opera, for example, you could right-click anywhere on a page that features the pukicon, select "Block content," then hold the shift key while you click the offending icon. Then click "Done."
Clicking the icon without holding the shift key will block the entire /tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/ directory, which would probably block all emoticons, and any other image files located in that directory.
If you use Firefox, install the Adblock Plus add-on. Navigate to a page that features the puke icon, click the stop sign with ABP in the top, right corner of your browser and select "Open blockable items" (or press Ctrl-Shift-V). Search for icon_puke.gif, right-click on it and select block. Make sure icon_puke.gif is selected in the dialog that pops up then click the Add Filter button.
I'm pretty sure Ad Block is available for Chrome. I'm not sure what kind of add-on or extension capabilities Safari or Internet Explorer have, but check with any community support forums for your browser of choice to find options for blocking offensive content.

I like this track a lot, and I have found other tracks by Mari Boine that I enjoy as well. But I can find only one translation of one of her songs into English, and that is not a song I have heard! I am frustrated, as I need to understand the lyrics to fully enjoy a song. Alas.

If this song were 2 minutes long I would really like it.
This reminds me of a softer Rhea's Obsession. Sue could sing the rings off Saturn - I'd love to hear her and the band do a duet with Mari Boine. Oh, the magic...
Up from 7 to 8. The more I hear it, the more I like it - it sets a mood that puts me into a lovely, mellow slipstream...

Yes, hauntingly repetitious, unintelligible and annoyingly uneventful. "Round" mouth-sounds made over and over don't make clever lyrics.
Maybe if I had smoked a very large peace-pipe I'd have enjoyed it more...then again, it would have to be a VERY large pipe. -Another one I could never hear again and be perfectly happy.

20:43 GMT+1, perfect for a rainy edinburgh
This song is worse than having the bed spins...
It's 12:45pm PST and it's still too early for this track on a Monday...
Beautiful, and I love the way it builds.
Bill, brill segue from Emily Jane White - Bessie Smith. Very creative!
If you like this, then you probably like Marianne Faithfull - Broken English ... I can't say anything good about either song. Oh! Except that they aren't played much! YaY !!
When I first heard this, I thought it was Rhea's Obsession! I like it.
Cool stuff, I like different provocative music
For some reason I feel the urge to go play with a yo-yo. 
I'm surprised at the low ratings on this one. I find it rythmic, unusual and interesting.

Still love this track!
This is a modern techno version of a sami song and and sami joik. The sami people lives in Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway. They are parted it different groups and do not have the same language. Mari Boine speaks the north sami language. It is a myth that they all lives in the mountains with their reindeers. Just a few of them do. The rest of them lives as regular inhabitant of the countries in the north of Scandinavia.
Mari Boine's father was a farmer and a carpenter. She is to day professor at the University College of Nesna in Norway.

I can't believe I haven't heard her before. This voice arrested me in my work! Very strong and very sweet at the same time. More please! Going to look her up now.
Very good. I hear there a strong woman spirituality. Please more.
Excellent follow up to Joni...gotta get this one from Mari...fan of hers from the early days.
interesting...my first thought upon hearing this song was that she must be aboriginal north american....then i looked at her myspace, and saw the picture, and still thought that...then i read the content of her myspace page..... very interesting...
What the hell...I really like it too.
As much as I would like to like this, I can't. I'm fine with the music, really, but the droning vocalizing just isn't hitting me right. Maybe it's this stomach trouble I'm having. For now a 4. Next time maybe higher. I'll try.
great beat
easy to dance to
i give it a 10
daboom daboom da boom daboom daboom

I like this just fine. I smile and tap my toe. But if I only ever heard it thirteen more times, that would probably be quite enough. A man's got to know his limits.
i'm surprised by the negative reaction by so many people. i think this music is a little different, but certainly not inaccessible. to me, this is really interesting and well done, and to some extent reminds me of Marianne Faithful's "Broken English". Listen to that and think about whether its close. This song certainly didn't merit the harsh criticism posted on this message board.

Thanks for the pronunciation advice. I try to get that right, but often (as in this case) resort to guesswork.
As for my use of the term "Scandinavia", I do think that "Northern Scandinavia" is a relatively accurate geographic description of the Sami homeland. Mari is indeed from Norway, but the Sami lands encompass parts of northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland, along with a bit of Russian territory.
Correct,Mr,DJ,Sir !

Something stinks in Schittzville, and Mari Boine is the mayor. This is tedious, boring rubbish, all right. As the Americans say, total dreck. It's like one of those persistent headaches that just drag on, and on, and on, and on. However, I will not go so far as to say Mr Goldsmith is not to play this song again. As much as this song does not strike my fancy, I admire Radio Paradise for its eclecticism, and have never requested, nor will ever request, that a certain song be taken out of rotation. I wish they played more Morphine though :P
Me no like
The tune and even the tone remind me a lot of Broken English by Marianne Faithfull.
Her husky voice reminds me a little of Neko Case.
Yeah, "world music" is a horrible descriptor, because it isn't any descriptor at all. Much too coarse to convey any useful meaning.
Oh, and I am digging this.

I'm REALLY not liking this one, Bill. Repetitive and out of tune is a baaaad combination.

AMEN!
are you sure? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_music
Some musicians and curators of music have come to dislike the term "World Music". To these critics, "World Music" is a parochial, catchall marketing term for non-western music of all genres. On October 3, 1999, David Byrne, the founder of the Luaka Bop music label, wrote an editorial in The New York Times entitled I Hate World Music<10> explaining his objections to the term. Byrne argued that the labeling and categorization of other cultures as "exotic" serves to attract an insincere consumership and deter other potential consumers.
perhaps you are one of those who dislikes the term? I guess you may be right that it is all "world music"? Not sure on this one. Now I'm confusing myself.
