Wimme & Rinne

Wimme & Rinne are known worldwide as performers who build bridges between traditional and contemporary music.

The music of Wimme Saari and Tapani Rinne vibrates on distinctly characteristic frequencies, where the deep roots of joik meet modern electronic soundscapes.

At times they even play with techno elements. Wimme's phenomenal vocal technique and improvised joik encounter Rinne's profound saxophone playing.

Their music is like a journey along the boundary between darkness and light, where traditions, nature, and modern art meet in the spiritual landscape of the north.

The two friends' fruitful collaboration has lasted over 30 years, and whenever they join forces, there is a sense of mystical discovery in the air!
