The musical has entertained audiences all over the world with their own creative arrangements of Scandinavian new-folk music, traditional Celtic music, and bluegrass music. Their unique sound is in large part due to the mesmerizing sounds of the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, known as the hardingfele in Norway. It is an elegant instrument first heard in the 17th century and often referred to as the national instrument of Norway. It is beautifully decorated and topped with a carved head of a maiden.

The hardingfele has sympathetic strings beneath the fingerboard that add echoing overtones to the music it produces. Two voices are created, a melody and an accompanying drone voice, giving it a unique sound that is both exotic and enchanting. The music of the Hardanger fiddle is most often played for listeners, but also accompanies dancers. The waltz, as well as traditional folk dances from various districts in Norway, are often accompanied by this elegant, yet often exuberant music.

Julussa combines the traditional folk music of Scandinavia with their own unique and modern-age arrangements to create the most enchanting and mesmerizing folk music imaginable. The sounds of Julussa add an exciting, and yet relaxing tone to any event.
