When This Reindeer Herder Walked Onto The Stage No One Expected It To Get So Emotional. November 27, 2016

Sometimes words are not needed to express heartfelt emotions. A reindeer herder named Jon Henrik performed a Joik song for the Swedish music competition Talang Sverige and had the audience and judges in awe. Joik is a chant with no words, very similar to Native American chanting. It’s one of the oldest forms of music in Europe and is specific to the indigenous people of northern Europe, the Sami.
