Shut up, dog! Congratulations, Blacksheeps!

Last night, the band Blacksheeps from Nesseby in Finnmark, Norway, won the Nordic MGP Jr contest with their great tune about the obese dog Kamilla. The song's title, "Oro jaska beana", is Sami for "shut up, dog!" Congratulations to Blacksheeps - well deserved! "Oro Jaska beana" can be heard and seen on Youtube.

Yes congratulations indeed! Nice to finally hear some Sami included in a Norwegian song....and it might even have helped Norway win...hehe!

But honestly speaking was there any competition there?

It was truly well deserved, and a great tune they've got. And the Sami bits made it even cooler, although the hype about them being a Sami band might be a bit exaggerated, considering that only the singer got any ethnic Sami background..
