Aino & Miihkali

Aino & Miihkali is a contemporary folk duo from Finland, mixing Nordic and Finno-Ugric soundscapes with global influences. Their songs balance the warmth of traditional acoustic instruments with the imaginative textures of modern electronica.

Aino’s expressive vocals and rhythmic kantele playing intertwine with Miihkali’s skilled guitar and banjo playing, creating the band’s distinctive sound. Duo has performed extensively, from intimate concert halls to large festival stages. The band’s playful and imagination-stirring songs, along with their warm and engaging stage presence, have received widespread praise from both audiences and critics.

”The duo is like explorers in sound. With playfulness, intuition, and spontaneity as their compass, they find unique sounds that form unique sound combinations, which in turn form a whole unique sound world that surprises and hypnotizes with its imagination.”

"The intricacy of the interplay of stringed instruments and vocals has a jaunty playfulness that catches the ear."
"..invites your mind into the realm of the unconscious where various traditions of folk music and folklore intermingle and resonate with an expanded sense of human connection."
