ESKIMO - Southampton Island. Eskimo medicine men and shamans often employ a low-pitched, raspy delivery in their healing songs, exaggerating the vocal qualities usually distinctive of males. The message is: Father or Grandfather is looking after you - Hudson Bay. A magic rune to help the hunt - with characteristic nonsense syllables, irregular rhythm and the with the characteristic pattern of harsh voice of the tireless hunter. Male solo/ Greenland, Eskimo. This stylistically typical song consists of strings of nonsense syllables set to the very complex irregular accompaniment of a frame drum beaten by a stick: FTX-784 - COLUMBIA SL-211 Canada Caribou Eskimaux/ CASS-0047

A choir of peasant girls from the northern wooded province near Finland: FTX-782 - Lapps.
