Joga is also a small village in the district Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, India.
"Jóga" is a song by Björk, released as the first single from her 1997 album Homogenic.
An electronic song, "Jóga" fuses these elements with baroque and classical styles. The track's sound was partially inspired by Icelandic music, containing what have been described as "volcanic beats". Lyrically, the piece is an ode to Björk's native land and her best friend, while containing subtexts relating to emergency. "Jóga" has been critically acclaimed ever since its release, with reviewers praising her powerful vocal performance, as well as the track's composition and overall production. Commercially, the song was a moderate success, charting in several international markets.
"Jóga" is dedicated to —and named after— Björk's best friend, Jóga Johannsdóttir, who is usually thanked in her album credits. Like the rest of the album, it was produced at El Cortijo in Málaga, Spain. She wrote the song while walking and admiring the landscape, a common way for her to write songs since childhood. Björk explained "an overall picture" of it to engineer Markus Dravs, who then came out with a rhythm that she felt was "too abstract".Mark Bell, the producer of the track, then came and "took 99 percent of what [he] did and came up with some noises", giving Dravs new ideas. The singer wrote the string arrangements, which were provided late in the production process by the Icelandic String Octet.
Joga is an Italian Europop act produced by Nick Ferrando with Nathalie Aarts on vocals. Joga songs are present on Toshiba-EMI's Dancemania non-stop megamix series, and in the Bemani games. Their major songs are "Dam Dariram", "Bye Bye Baby Balloon" and "No Nobody's Love". "White Christmas" was added to the Trance X-Mas compilation (Polystar Records, 2003), and this song to date has been their last collaboration as producer and singer.
