Its the lead singer of Korpiklaani's solo project...and I think it is really good. For history Korpiklaani just plays sort of fun traditional music related to drinking...and got sort of adopted as a 'folk metal band' even though they never set out to be a metal, metalheads just decided they were metal. But yeah the Jonne solo project is quite a bit different than the korpiklanni stuff but still very good.

I have never heard of this singer or band before. I like the music in the video but need to understand the lyrics to really enjoy music and I don't understand a word of this. I believe it's finnish.

I am not well versed in rock from Finland.

I always assumed that everyone in Finland was too busy "raking the leaves in the forest to prevent forest fires" to do stuff like play musical instruments. :D

Cant understand a word, but it has a nice unique sound. Integrates a squeezebox and Native American chanting into the ensemble. Not sure why Finns are singing about our Indigenous people, but whatever.

The Finnish language itself has a unique and rather pleasing sound.

The Indigenous people of Finland and the rest of the Nordic region is Samic. I think what you are hearing is original native Sámic music elements and lyrics in Northern Sámi, not Native American chanting.

Duhhh... :oops:
Of course.


The people in video even look like Native Americans in garb (in a stereotypical way), but yeah...they must be portraying indigenous Lapp/Sami shaman..doing shamanistic musical things.


Interesting.
