Mattis Hætta, the sami unfortunetley passed away this week. He still is a legend in norwegian eurovision history, he brought joik to eurovision which wouldn't return until 2019 with keiino. He will always be remembered as a great man and may him rest in peace
This song was dedicated to Sami people. Lyrics is about the protest of Sami people against the building of a dam in Alta region, Norway. .. many protests against the building of that dam and even riots. For the first time after World War II people were arrested charged of rioting in Norway, There was even a hunger strike by some Sami people in front of the Norwegian Parliament against that. Although the protests the dam was built and the project was completed in 1987. The Norwegian presenter Åse Kleveland is too a singer who has representated Norway in ESC 1966 and presented the ESC 1986 in Bergen. Sverre Kjelsberg the first singer was born in 1946 has died in 2016.
Rip Mattis Haetta. Today we hear that Mattis Haetta has passed away after being sick for some time. He got to be 63. Hope he bring this joik with him to a better place ❤️
I did a little digging about Mattis... I found a seria thats called " skaidi" and noticed him right away. Because of the birthmark.. And the language might as well has been in chinese... But it was nice to see him.. ( Very nice)
3 months ago. Working besides a kindergarten. A kid nearly 5 years old. He sang The joik and the other kids beside him joined along singing. It Was magic.
My mother was full blooded Sami, but the Norwegian politics of eradicating the costal Sami have worked 100%. None of us kids speak more than a few words of her language, and she her selves had probably forgot most of it by the time she was an adult. I know they spoke the language in her home and her mom and dad was probably fluent. It was never much of a subject growing up, and mom would never speak about her Sami Heritage. So, we did not even realize she was full-blooded sami until we started to dig in her family tree, and her it is clear as day light, all her ant sisters are Sami. Most from the Kautokeino area.
my mom's family originally comes from hammerfest, and are sea sami but dont speak the language because of norwegianization and never speaks about it too
All languages are invented intentionally by their people. They just don't happen by accident and we're stuck with them. So as you learn Sami, make it yours, add Norwegian because that's your heritage too. Im in a similar boat with Irish-English. All language used to be one afterall.
My ancestors were a combination of sea sami and kven, and I say we should be thankful for the forced Norwegian influence on the culture of the north. Most of us no longer worship demons and false gods, and we have one nation of mostly the same culture, rather than being a remote backwater with a totally different culture and way of life living as a 5th column within a bigger nation.
Got some serious goosebumps. Knowing the story of the Sami people and their surpression under the ethnic majority wich continued up until pretty much the time this was aired. Then suddenly a Sami man waering traditional Sami clothes walk unto the stage singing in the unik sami form of joik. It might be hard for those who didn't live there to understand how truly radical this was.
@@diddlysquat88 not now, but it was very bad back in the days. though not to the extreme but it could be compared to the Chinese re-education centers today
@@Luno_Illumino I'm sorry to hear that! And my apologies if I came out sounding a bit insensitive. But surely what's happening with the Uyghurs in China now is another level of brutality?
In the thing 2011 prequal. They actually Sung this song. I've been looking for this song for years and now I finally found it. Norwegians are so awesome.
The guys in the Metropole Orchestra, who are accompanying the singers on stage, were rather impressed by Egil Monn-Iversen's instrumental intro - in fact, this song was one of the orchestra's favourites. It was not the first time Sigurd Jansen conducted the Metropole Orchestra, as he had been invited over to the Netherlands for some guest performances back in 1975.
I adore this. It pees me off that on montages they just show the chanting bit, as if that was the whole song and we are supposed to find it ridiculous. It's so much more than that!
The chorus of this song was converted into a sports chant in Portugal. Supporters groups would sing it at football stadiums and indoor sports arenas. Maybe they still do.
@@ritaveronicaelvakerhaande7623 Makes you wonder how far a song can travel and change, doesn't it? I can't find any videos of it being sung over here but if I do I'll definitely post them here.
I like how the entry from 2019 made a reference to this song in an interview i read in the Dutch paper. Joik har større kraft enn krut. Of course, it made absolutely no sense literally translated without knowing about this song, but still.
Enkel tone, to små ord: Sámiid Ædnan, samisk jord Kom som vindpust ifra nord, ifra nord, Sámiid Ædnan Kan et krav få mjukar form: Sámiid Ædnan, Sameland Vokste sæ fra bris tel storm, bris tel storm, Sámiid Ædnan Framførr tinget der dem satt, oh! Hørtes joiken dag og natt, Sámiid Ædnan
This is the first time I've seen this song all the way through. Strange that it suddenly changes tempo but quite a catchy tune despite getting nul points.

Eek. It's the plot of Frozen II, also catchier than any of the songs in Frozen II, besides the joiking.

At the end of first grade, in 1980, we all sang "Ey-å-le-lå-le-lå-å" in the schoolyard. Spring 1980 was the yoke spring in Norway

May he send his joik to us from wherever he is now. Rest in peace :(

This is the last time a Sami was on stage in Eurovision. But now all has changed. A new bald guy is the new hero.
Agnethe Johnsen (2016) is also a Samii.
What about Roger Pontare? Twice!
No, Keiino (Norway 2019) is partly Samish.
Calina Fuglsang-Damgaard Thats what op meant.
@@MrTheZMAI He represented Sweden, not Norway! You know that Samis live in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia??
I love how the Sami guy just
Lurches onto stage with all the grace of a drunken uncle XD
Just making an appearance on the Eurovision stage as you do haha :)
It's funny how he has to hold the microphone cable :)
Yesterday it was decided that Norway in 2019 once more sends jojk to ESC! This time in a more modern version: ua-cam.com/video/sq1bH_uo1nU/v-deo.html
You just can't look like a proper person when trying to walk and joik xd

It’s never to late to start learning the language and taking your heritage back!
All languages are invented intentionally by their people. They just don't happen by accident and we're stuck with them. So as you learn Sami, make it yours, add Norwegian because that's your heritage too.

Learn the language while she is still alive, absolutely zero excuses.

The crowd sat in silence in 1980. In today's contest, Mattis would have brought the house down when he walked on
They joiked madly in Tel Aviv this year!
So sad that they both are gone now. Mattis Hætta just passed away 😢

Now I realized Keiino was not the first group performing with joik at the Eurovision stage 😳
Also Eurovision Juniour had a song with sami lyrics like 1o years ago.
The very first entry Norway had directly refrences the samis in it's first verse.

Always loved this song ...
Rest In Peace Mattis Hætta. He died yesterday, Nov 10'th, only 63 years old. Btw, he was the guy in the Sami costume.
