One idea lead to another and I ended up learning about Yoik singing and now and going to see how it relates to some Irish traditional singing I love. I think the "people of the sun" on Frozen 2 are modeled after the Sami and when they start forming a circle and singing, It is the most powerful thing I had ever felt/heard.

I think it is a Joik or a very good recreation of one.
Really, it makes me pause and think once again about how important a simple melody is in any musical piece.
