Lapinlahden Linnut (literally "The Birds of Lapinlahti") is a Finnish group renowned for their eclectic mix of music and comedy, a fusion that has sustained their popularity over the decades. Formed in 1983 in the town of Lapinlahti, they initially began as a folk music band, but their style evolved to incorporate elements of rock, jazz, and even theatre, laced with comedic lyrics and skits. The core of the band has included founding members Tapio Liinoja, Timo Eränkö, Markku Toikka, and Matti Jaaranen. However, the lineup has seen changes over the years, each new member contributing to the vibrant and often satirical musical sketches that have become the band's hallmark.

Lapinlahden Linnut has enjoyed a long career with an extensive discography that reflects their ability to adapt and renew their sound. Among their recent releases, "Sketsejä radiossa" showcases their talent in sketch-based humor, combined with radio-friendly melodies. "Äideistä rumin" and "Köyhän taivas" further exemplify their knack for blending humorous storytelling with engaging music. While not always taking themselves too seriously, their ability to touch upon relevant social issues through humor and catchy tunes has earned them a dedicated fanbase. Their work transcends the conventional boundaries of music genres, making them a unique fixture in the Finnish entertainment industry.
