Christmas is party time. For many Norwegians, celebrating Christmas is real rock`n roll, and the biggest rocker of them all is Santa Claus. Santa is the world's best traveller, but he is also the world's best dancer.

From Liverpool this beautiful song has spreaded around the world - even to the harsh deserts in Jordan. This song brings joy and happiness, and its joins people across nations, oceans, mountains and also deserts. I told the Bedouins about the fantastic football club Liverpool F.C. and the people from Liverpool. They stay together in good and bad times. Bedouins and people from Liverpool have very different lifestyle and culture, but one thing they have in common is unique hospitality and good guts.

The title of the video clip is: Arctic musical tales from Vajas - A great journey over the tundra and deep into the heart of the warm Sámi people!
Vajas succesful concert was on Friday 19 November 2004 at Divadlo U hasico on Rimska 45 in Prague. According to our earlier review, the concert was a powerful and beautiful journey through yoik, violin, chant and synthesiser. Together it reflects Vajas' courage and willingness to experiment, develop and transform indigenous music. See the video clip from their concert here!

The concert was a powerful and beautiful journey through yoik, violin, chant and synthesiser. Together it reflects Vajas' courage and willingness to experiment, develop and transform indigenous music. Me and my friends had the great privilege to experience Vajas on Friday 19 November 2004 in an evening concert at Divadlo U hasico on Rimska 45 in Prague.

Their dance is called the Halay-dance and its something for itself. After the men had made up their mind about the marriage, and the Mullah had blessed the couple, the wedding celebration started. Dressed up in beautiful costumes the Qashqai-women in Iran danced so beautiful as I never have seen before.

It didn't took long time before the Qashqai women started to dance, but when the men started their own wild dance, I was challenged to join them in something which turned to be a real fighting game, the Choopy dance. It must be the world`s most brutal dance!

Against all odds, Secret Garden made history by winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1995 with "Nocturne" (in Dublin). Norway has seldom been successful in this song contest, so it was a really big surprise. Their sucess is still going on!
