Jaakko Gauriloff (born March 1939)[1] is a Skolt Sámi singer. He is regarded as the first artist to have sung popular music in the Skolt Sámi language and is said to be the first Sámi to have published an album in Finland when he published his first record at the end of the 1960s.[2] Although he is mostly known as a schlager singer, he can also sing traditional Skolt Sámi leuʹdds.[1][3]
