Zinkadus plays music by Irgens-Møller and Bredsdorff-Larsen. The two have played together since 2010 both with roots in African music. The rep is jazz inspired - with spices from The Middle East. Includes odd meters, solos, songs - all with a rythmic punch.

„Aida“ was remembered at the band "Ache"’s „Blå som altid“ ('blue as always' 1977) in which Steen Toft Andersen played the bass.
The band name became the title of a theme which Christer and Karsten had been jamming on since the early days in the band ’Sindbad’ (Axel Bredsdorff, bass, and Klaus Pedersen, drums, 1970-72). Steen Toft Andersen recorded the theme ”Aida” as the second part of the song ”Du får vinger nu” ('you get wings now'). Karsten og Christer was credited for the theme (thanks to Steen).
