Inga Juuso came from Alta-Kautokeino area in the Arctic region of Northern Norway. She was one of the foremost solo artists of her time and was considered Sápmi’s undisputed queen of yoik and a true cultural bearer of Sámi vocal traditions.

She had a formidable knowledge of vocal traditions – a knowledge she generously shared through her work. This earned her the reputation as one of Sápmi’s most skilled, respected, and groundbreaking yoikers. She was fearless in blending yoik with other musical expressions, believing firmly that the power of yoik could transcend any musical barrier. She herself has commented on this: “The yoik evolves when meeting new musicians, working with them and mixing musical styles”.

Although Inga Juuso passed away in 2014, her art lives on as a beacon for following generations in Sápmi and beyond.
