The Suvi Oskala Duo consists of two young but experienced folk musicians from Finland. Their music combines free improvisation with new compositions and a knowledge of traditional music.

SUVI OSKALA DUO

The atmosphere is heightened by the lyrics of Suvi Oskala’s compositions. The lyrics are from poems by a young Finnish poet,
Saija Nojonen, whose work is simultaneously both mundane and absurd. The compositions themselves are influenced by the singer-songwriter
genre as well as the Finnish “ditty” tradition, but approach these influences with a twist.

The duo’s vast knowledge of music and virtuoso use of their instruments, combined with the ambition for developing new sounds on their
instruments, gives their music an extraordinarily wide range of sounds and moods.
