Song of two men who are cut in their navels

The vocal piece was made for an occasion organized by the M.A. Castrén Society at the Museum of Cultures, Helsinki. It is based on exclamation ”kajjajjuujig”, used in bear rituals of Hantis and Mansis, Siberian Fenno-Ugrian people. I was accompanied by Heikki Laitinen playing naresjuk, a string organ.
