Wimme

芬蘭國(guó)寶級(jí)藝術(shù)家，北歐神秘的、瀕臨失傳的藝術(shù)形式SAMI YOIK的當(dāng)代精神領(lǐng)袖。即便在歐洲，聆聽(tīng)Wimme Saari演出的機(jī)會(huì)也是少之又少，他強(qiáng)烈的情感底蘊(yùn)，為SAMI YOIK這種活化石般的藝術(shù)形式帶來(lái)了前所未有的聽(tīng)覺(jué)體驗(yàn)。 
Wimme把薩米yoik推升到一個(gè)新的高度，他以他強(qiáng)烈的情感帶給周?chē)穆?tīng)眾以前所未有的聽(tīng)覺(jué)體驗(yàn)。形成一種結(jié)合了傳統(tǒng)和即興的yoik的表演形式。在過(guò)去數(shù)十年的一般yoik發(fā)生了一些變化，實(shí)際上 Wimme的yoiking可稱(chēng)為“自由yoik”。他構(gòu)造強(qiáng)烈，明確的旋律拱門(mén)和延伸重新找回了古代yoik的本質(zhì)。他更被稱(chēng)作是薩米yoik的國(guó)寶級(jí)藝術(shù)家。
Wimme的薩米yoil音樂(lè)被從青年人到老年人的廣泛人群喜愛(ài)。除了因?yàn)閃imme引人入勝的表演技巧之外，這種傳統(tǒng)，而又瀕臨失傳的藝術(shù)形式更是散發(fā)出了她獨(dú)有的迷人香艷。

An acknowledged master of the Finnish Sami yoik -- a traditional chanting cut from the same cloth as Native American music -- Wimme Saari debuted in 1997 with a self-titled effort issued on the NorthSide label; Gierran followed two years later and Cugu was issued in fall 2000. He returned three years later with Barru. The NorthSide release included live video from the 2002 Nordic Roots Festival.
