Sami Joik and Bagpipe

The Enlightenment philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau reacted to the superficiality of society by advocating a “return to nature”. He maintained that, in their primitive state, people were nearer to the truth than they were in the webs of intrigue of power-hungry society. This is easy to imagine when Ulla Pirttijärvi sings Sami joik and when Albin Paulus turns to nature for his instruments: the skin for his bagpipes, his elderberry whistles and his angelica wood. As “Galan in the Garden”, he combines the artificial naturalness of Rococo with the sustainability of today.
