Texas

\"Texas\" is a live recording by Finnish joik artist Wimme Saari, released as the second track on the 2021 album Festival d’été de Québec 2001. The performance originated from Saari’s appearance at the Festival d’été de Québec in 2001, though the official recording appeared two decades later. The track runs 3 minutes and 48 seconds in duration.

The album was issued on July 15, 2021 under the Canadian label Bell in CD format. The release captures Saari’s fusion of traditional Sámi joik with contemporary arrangements, a style he developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s. \"Texas\" exemplifies this approach through its blend of indigenous vocal techniques and minimalist instrumentation, though specific session musicians or producers for this track remain undocumented in available sources.

Saari’s performance at the 2001 festival marked one of his early international showcases outside Scandinavia. The 2021 release compiles selections from that event, with \"Texas\" standing out for its atmospheric texture and lyrical abstraction. The track’s title suggests thematic or improvisational inspiration, but Saari provided no public commentary on its compositional origins. The album itself carries no additional liner notes or credits beyond the label and release date.

As of the current revision, no further details exist regarding alternate versions, remixes, or subsequent live renditions of \"Texas.\" The recording remains tied to the 2001 festival performance and its 2021 archival release.
