ABOUT
VästanVind Jojk" (West Wind Jojk), a duo from northern Sweden, performs the old jojk tradition in a new and unique expression.

Ronald Vikström and Jonas Strandgård of "VästanVind Jojk" have recently initiated a project based on recordings of the Sami people, originally done by Swedish Radio in 1953-54. The intention was to preserve and collect the Sami yoik tradition for new generations because they thought the jojk was dying. "VästanVind Jojk" performs joiks instrumentally from the archive in a new expression. The purpose is to carry on the tradition to new ears. "VästanVind Jojk" has also released the album Nasafjäll Requiem!

Ronald Vikström - Moog Liberation, Jonas Strandgård - Guitar
