Mikko Perkoila & Vinkulelu – Joyful and Thoughtful Music for Children (and Adults Too!)

Mikko Perkoila & Vinkulelu serve up cheerful, imaginative music primarily composed and written by Perkoila himself. Their sound blends lively violin playing, resonant cello rhythms, and lyrical tones that appeal to children – and often to adults as well. The songs feature clever and poetic lyrics, with stories that offer fresh perspectives on familiar topics.

Mikko Perkoila is a seasoned singer-songwriter known for his inventive and fluid use of language. His songs often unfold as small-scale stories that reveal deeper meanings in everyday life. With a recording career spanning over 30 years, Perkoila released his first solo album in 1980. In recent years, his focus has shifted more toward children’s music, though he continues to write new songs for adult audiences too.
