It's Eurovision, except it's just for the indigenous Sámi people of northern Scandinavia, featuring modern pop and traditional "Joiking" streams.

There's something about a small community celebrating its culture that warms my cockles and I figured was something that the Fediverse might appreciate.

It's in Swedish and Sámi, but that makes it easier to have on in the background (if you don't speak it). Plus if you speak Sámi, you probably don't need me to tell you about this competition (-:

Plus, as an added bonus, it's 100% free of Middle-Eastern politics and may fill a #Fedivision - shaped hole.

Sámi Grand Prix - Samiska melodifestivalen – Sámi Grand Prix

Sápmis största musiktävling med deltagare från hela norra Norden. Sex jojkare och sex artister tävlar i två kategorier: traditionell jojk och modern musik. Du kan vara med och rösta fram vinnarna i Melodifestivalen-appen! Direktsändning från Påskfestivalen i Kautokeino, Norge.

@sknob yes, I understand… I get what you mean, and I'm not mad in any way :-)

I think most of my listeners from the Fedi still hail from the days when #fedivision was still a thing, and small enough so that you didn't need to scream and shout to make yourself heard. I loved it in that incarnation.

In its last year, it became a big "scream the loudest, get your vote" kind of event, and that kind of killed it.

But I maintain that something like that is dearly missing (…)

Austria refuses to host #Eurovision if Israel is not allowed to participate.

Countries with proper pathoses - Netherlands, Spain, Ireland - refuse to participate if Israel is allowed to.

Sweden says nothing. SHAME 🔔

I guess it's #Fedivision for me next year. Actually, even if Israel are banned it'll probably be Fedivision instead anyway 😄

@agafnd
Fun fact, I snuck a reference to Æthelred the Unready into my first (2021) #Fedivision entry "Fedi Verse"! I had to rhyme *something* with "Pixelfed"!

For Bandcamp Friday give this a spin and maybe drop a dollar on it. This was the runner up in the last #Fedivision. Unfortunately this song has aged perfectly well.

They found a way to sell the new rage
To all the bastards on a rampage"

Wow, I almost missed this!

I'm Cobalt, or Tommy. I make a variety of genres, my most recent work being taking part in #Fedivision last year. I haven't made anything in a while (or rather, not published in a while), but there's some back log on my Bandcamp to listen to!

All of the stuff on my Bandcamp is pay what you want.

There are so so many. 😊

I'm sure lots of people will respond, but there's also #fedivision and the original #fedivision2023 where music creators showcased some of their stuff. Good luck!
