The Sami, also known as Lapps, are the indegenous people of Northern Scandinavia. Hailing from northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia (the Kola Peninsula), their lives and appearance have a lot in common with Native Americans. Their music is dominated by the unique and easily recognizable Joik (or Yoik) which again lends similarities to the chanting vocal styles of Native American music. It is often accompanied by a simple hand drum beat.
Cautious instrumental rock, easy in the best sense
A relaxing, ecclectic rhythm groove, warm and laidback guitar melodies with a slight jazzy feel. Also features Indian sitar and tabla percussion for a nice and breezy, ethnic/world feel.

This smooth and soft world-fusion track uses the traditional Indian instrument Sarangi, which is a bit like a violin (although it predates the violin in existence). The traditional role of this instrument is to play in unison with the vocalist, but here the Saranghi has come into its own right, mixed with a downtempo electronica beat, tabla, tamborines and soft pads. A silky smooth, exotic and beautiful world ethnic track, highly suitable for travel, journeys, holidays and vacations in exotic and far-away places. Slightly wistful or sorrowful, but also comforting and hopeful.
A soft and warm ambient track with a gentle bed of sound and a bell melody which is later complimented by a smooth and emotive string section. Unobtrusive and peaceful this track is great as background music for many projects.
