About Me

Aito Records is a Finnish company founded by musicians. The Helsinki-based imprint publishes pluralistic Finnish ”world music” combining northern tradition with influences from around the world. Acoustics and a natural, direct approach are important to us. The company was established in 1999 by label manager Pekka Lehti. Aito Records' roster includes the acts ZetaBoo, Sväng, Pekka Lehti & Outo Voima, Markku Lepistö, Maria Kalaniemi, Jouko Kyhälä, Riikka Timonen, Milla Viljamaa, and Lepistö&Lehti. The entire back-catalogue is available through the Aito Records website (see link on the left column).
