Wimme

芬蘭國寶級藝術(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Wimme Saari演出的機會也是少之又少，他強烈的情感底蘊，為SAMI YOIK這種活化石般的藝術(shù)形式帶來了前所未有的聽覺體驗。 
Wimme把薩米yoik推升到一個新的高度，他以他強烈的情感帶給周圍的聽眾以前所未有的聽覺體驗。形成一種結(jié)合了傳統(tǒng)和即興的yoik的表演形式。在過去數(shù)十年的一般yoik發(fā)生了一些變化，實際上 Wimme的yoiking可稱為“自由yoik”。他構(gòu)造強烈，明確的旋律拱門和延伸重新找回了古代yoik的本質(zhì)。他更被稱作是薩米yoik的國寶級藝術(shù)家。
Wimme的薩米yoil音樂被從青年人到老年人的廣泛人群喜愛。除了因為Wimme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.
