• 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.

• As a duo, named 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 mood ranges from subdued lyrical moments to reckless frenzy. The music is beautiful, stripped down, melodious and rhythmical.

• For ten years these two artists have performed together in various ensembles, influencing each other and developing a unique musical energy and communicative ability. The result is a distinctive musical landscape in which yoik and bass share equal pride of place.

• At the end of January 2010, they will be appearing at a Norwegian concert in London and at Showcase Scotland as part of Celtic Connections in Glasgow.
