Thread Name: Scandinavian Folk Music sites
Subject: RE: Scandinavian Folk Music sites
I'm still a bit off subject here, but I just found two sites I wanted to include in my last post, but they were lost from my bookmarkes after a computer crash.

The Sámi Radio Site has some great links as well as news, etc.

This site contains some great information on Sámi music.

For those who are wondering, Sami (Lapps as a derogatory name) are the indiginous people in Northern Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, and Finland) as well as the Kola Pennensula (Russia). Today, they are a small minority in which most if not all of their languages (there were/are about nine) are either endangered or extinct.

AKS, Thanks for the Finish language lesson. I've spent some time trying to learn, but don't have anyone to practice with.
