Northern Sami language
Shaman was the second incarnation of Korpiklaani, formed in 1997, which is notable for the heavy use of original native Sámic music elements and lyrics in Northern Sami language. The band's music was based on the folk music of Shamaani Duo. The most widely used elements are the shamanic drum, yoik and humppa. Besides yoik, the vocals vary from clean to rather aggressive growling.
