爵士低音提琴手Steinar Raknes及傳統yoik歌手Inga Juuso所創作的音樂, 使寒風凜冽的高原回復平靜;為寒冬添上美意及溫暖。二人組合Skaidi的成員Steinar Raknes及Inga Juuso跳出爵士樂及yoik的框框,創出結合兩者的新穎表達方式。在這特別的音樂領域,yoik及低音提琴的重要性不相伯仲。

Inga Juuso以粗獷、直接和迷人的聲線聞名,是Scandinavia的著名yoik歌手。她自學傳統技巧,成為受歡迎的歌手。目前,她在挪威北部的Troms擔任地區歌手,亦是全球唯一的全職專業yoik歌手。她曾參與多張CD灌錄,亦是一位資深的演員。‘Yoik 不只屬於山巔及異國,’Inga稱。在職業生涯中,她透過與其他音樂類型的實驗創作,努力發展及創新Sami音樂。

Jazz bassist Steinar Raknes and traditional yoiker Inga Juuso have created music that calms the icy plateau wind and makes the dark winter months seem snug and beautiful. In the duo Skaidi, Steinar Raknes and Inga Juuso tear jazz and yoik from their respective traditions and create a new, unrefined expression that transcends both traditions. The duo creates a distinctive musical landscape in which yoik and bass share equal pride of place.

Inga Juuso is known for her raw, direct presence and enthralling voice. She is one of Scandinavia’s leading yoikers and uses a self-taught traditional technique that has made her a sought-after artist the world over. Today she works as a regional yoiker in the Northern Norwegian county of Troms, and is unique in being the only full-time professional yoiker in the world. She has collaborated on several CD recordings and is also an experienced actor. ‘Yoik doesn’t only belong on mountain tops and in exotic places’, Inga states, and through her entire career, she has striven to develop and renew Sami musical tradition by experimenting with other musical genres.
