The YL Male Voice Choir
Get ready to be joiked. Joiking is a form of native singing in Lapland, in the far north of Scandinavia. Today's special guests, the YL Male Voice Choir of Helsinki, Finland, join host Fred Child for music and conversation, including a joiking demonstration. They also sing music by Finnish composers Jean Sibelius, Einojuhani Rautavaara, and Toivo Kuula, shaking the rafters of Minneapolis' Orchestra Hall with their powerful sound.
