Umeko Ando

Japanese folk singer in North Japan
This Ainu culture is important on the continent of Hokkaido, and its past history and culture are somewhat similar to that of Sámi folklore on music in the peninsula
It is characterized with using a stringed instrument 🪕sounds of like a harp

Cool article on the use and representation of traditional Sami singing (the "yoik") in scandinavian folk metal. It's always great when anthropologists discuss music, especially underground scenes ! (and I've been listening to this stuff my whole youth)

Un chouette article qui discute l'utilisation/représentation des chants traditionnels Sami (le yoik) dans le folk metal scandinave. Je recommande aussi le reste des travaux de l'auteur (sur le yoik principalement, et un peu sur les bals folks)
Toujours sympa quand les anthropologues s’intéressent au metal :)
