Norwegian professor of musicology? This is campfire under the Milky Way shit here. Go doctor go.
You're wrong. It's a chant from people called Sami, living in the top north of Norway, Finland and Sweden.
Truly awful. I can not understand why you continue to play this over and over. Ok, it is a native American chant. Got it. But chanting the same thing over and over and over and over and over..... = annoying.
I like this when in the right mood and can focus on it, definitely does not work for me as background while working.
Not a huge fan but I'm still really glad it's here - I don't come to Radio Paradise for easy, comfortable listening...
Keep it comin' RP!
so…. Lemme get this straight:
“Heyyy-yayy-yay-yay-yay-yay-yo
heyyy-yayy-yay-yay-yay-yay-yo”
…do I have that right?
“Heyyy-yayy-yay-yay-yay-yay-yo
heyyy-yayy-yay-yay-yay-yay-yo”
…do I have that right?
Sorry, this is instant skip button for me. Truly painful. Played often and skipped every time, it breaks through the most casual of listening and instantly rattles my nerves, more nauseating than primal.

I've noticed this---and other subtleties. I'd posit that Bill's daughter is exerting more influence on the musical direction. Most is pretty good---but it's a lot of truly obscure stuff. And less of the core.

No you would not. I clicked on RP desktop to see what Native American tribe's song this was. Imagine my surprise...
While I am not of Native American blood, I have spent years with friends, relations and acquaintances of numerous tribal descent, though mostly with the Siouan-speaking people. The first time I heard Mari Boine was, of course, here on RP, way back in 1996 or 1997. My then-girlfriend (who had Northern American indigenous influences) and I listened intently and could not discern the language. I have Nordic ancestry and was very happy to learn of Mari Boine's Sami roots. I hope to visit the Northern European peoples some day; I absolutely hear and feel this music in my DNA.

Really disliking this more with every play. Sad to say.
Only Yoko Ono is impressed.

The main mix seems to becoming more just like the Global mix

Awesome, I love the driving power of this and the raw emotive power of the vocals

I don't feel qualified to judge any music, especially something like this, which might be really good for its genre. All I can do is rate a song by how much I'd like to hear it or others like it again compared with all the others. Giving this one a 2, IOW, I can go quite a while without it. 
there are some days when , stuck working on a repetetive project, this music helps me to get in a groove and no be so irritated by it... the work, not the music - i can prep dinner with a sharp knife and be safe in the moment listening to it.

I love the tribal vibe this has - reminds me also of Native American traditions.
Before I checked I was expecting it was a Native American piece. I kinda like it, but I can also understand why a lot don't. Broadening my horizons.
Any song that pushes me to stop what I am doing and look is worthy of consideration.
To me this sounds great, but then I have been consuming traditional Indigenous music in many forms for a very long time.
7 => 8

Great beat but that vocal is painful.
The Last Kingdom?
A sort of journey
Guess that Bill needed to cut down on the amount of bandwidth listeners were using...

I love Mari Boine, and this album.
However, the cover shown is from another recording - which is also fine. But don't go by the cover art, if you want to buy this particular album.
Here's this album on Bandcamp - Bálvvoslatjna – Room of Worship:

The cover art is from her album of Peter Gabriel's label, called Gula Gula ("Listen, Listen")

The Hu are great stuff, ( I'll say even the colab with Jacoby, though not my cuppa)
If this calls to you check out "Shrieg, Shrieg" on the album "The Gereg" by the Hu. It's very primitive in its own way.

Defines eclectic description
Please never play that again.
Absolutely transfixing. Thank you always B&R.
Sorry, Mari Boine's just not working for me. Thanks, anyway.

Would I be wrong for thinking there's an obvious kinship between
Sámi and Native American musics?

Never even knew or heard of the Sámi until watching some random Nordic Noir thriller on Netflix during the pandemic. This is why I'm RP-loyal; its eclecticism assists in expanding one's often-limited knowledge base. Of this planet.
Some Eivør-ish noises. Like it.
Powerful, spiritual, love it.
IDK? I will have to give it a few more "listens", before I decide.

As jthriau, I also am thankafull for let us know such great music, musicans and their stories. Múscia de pueblos originarios!!!
Like this a lot. Eallin, from Mari, gets a 10 from me. Please keep her music in rotation!
I'm not terribly surprised to see all the negative ratings here, but every time I hear one of Mari Boine's tracks, I always have to stop and listen. Love it! Keep up the good work, B&R!

Who knew there was a genre called YOIK?
Digging the percussion. The repetitive chanting makes me wonder if the Sami had any...err...illicit substances to go along with the music.
Makes me wonder what stripped down, original Sami music would sound like.

Yep, I'd dance around the campfire naked but for a penis gourd to this. Pass the peyote, pal :*)
Not that the Sami would do much naked campfire dancing, given how feckin' freezing it is in their homelands, but I dare say that they enjoy a good bop and a smoke to pass the long winter nights over the Arctic Circle.
The Wikipedia entry on Mari Boine is interesting and illuminating. She's the real Sami thing. Thanks to RP for bringing her work to our attention: typically eclectic, captivating, and very, very RP :)
I visited North Cape in summer - Land of the Midnight Sun and all that... Was several degrees positive I'll have you know!!
Lovin' the groove and the freedom this evokes...

Well, there are lyrics, and here they are:
Way, hey, hey, oh, oh,
Way, hey, hey, oh, oh!

Great to see Mari Boine on RP. Obviously well respected by a large group around the world.
Perhaps a lot of belly-aching, but a really good groove!

Clever, Randy :-)
Do want to point out to everybody that "RParadise" is not Radio Paradise - it's Randy Paradise - so that's not an "official" comment.

I thought american indian too. Interesting. I'm sure an authentic rendition of the music she's incorporating would not be good, but the arrangement here is too generically new age. I don't know what would fix it, but in the end, it doesn't really work as it is.Interesting. Sounds like what Sinead O\'Connor might sound like if she were american indian rather than irish.

Leave aside your opinion.
Not a "Native American Chant".
Read the small paragraph of information provided along with the artist bio; This is from the Sami people, hailing the far north of Norway.
And Bill has said he plays anything he finds interesting.
Enjoy something different, because that is what Radio Paradise does.
Or just hit PSD and go on with your life.
