When spirits are calling my name

Speaking of Vincent... his father Roger Pontare is a very much respected artist here in Sweden. Vincent didn't want to give out his last name at first, because he wanted to make a career of his own. But nowadays most people knows about this and calls him by his full name Vincent Pontare.
His father Roger is known for his fantastic outfits that reminds you of the great ol´ native indians, the Lappish and the snowy mountains up in the north of Sweden. In year 2000 he entered the Eurovision Song Contest, which he has competed in many times, and won with the song "När vindarna viskar mitt namn" (When spirits are calling my name). Any Swede who doesn't know of this song must be living under a rock...
It's full of power and beautiful singing. Not to mention all of the interesting characters walking around on stage, making you feel like you've travelled back in time to walk through an Indian village...

Swedish version

English version

The rock band Hammerfall has made a cover of this song that you can find on YouTube. But a couple of years before that, they did a much appreciated performance together with Roger. I clearly remember watching this and loving how the singers voices fell together in the best of ways.
