Vildaluodda / Wildprint
Duo VILDÁ combines mystical yoiks, swinging rhythms and improvisation in a fascinating way. Influenced by contemporary pop music and Finnish folk music, a unique soundtrack is born that will carry the listener to the northern fells, where the winds of the Sámiland blow. As quoted in THE 10 ESSENTIAL SÁMI ALBUMS By Songlines, UK, 27th of March, 2020: Vildaluodda/Wildprint (Bafe’s Factory, 2019) Sámi music has, of course, long existed alongside the folk music of non-Sámi cultures in Finland and elsewhere in Sápmi. Hildá Länsman and Viivi Maria Saarenkylä bring things together – via joik and accordion – in a dynamic and refreshing way. Länsman follows in the footsteps of her mother Ulla Pirttijärvi by sounding like no other joiker today. http://www.songlines.co.uk/features/essential-10/the 10-essential-sami-albums
