Matti ja Teppo

Originating from Turku, Finland, brothers Matti and Teppo Ruohonen, who perform as Matti ja Teppo, arrived respectively on August 8, 1949, and March 1, 1948. They began appearing together at local venues while still children and issued their debut album, Matti ja Teppo, in 1972. The duo eventually produced nearly 30 albums plus nine compilations, becoming an established institution across their home country. Early on they launched their own label, M&R Productions. For their 35th anniversary in 2004 they released a commemorative collection together with the seasonal set Christmas Time. Success continued in 2008 when Satoi Tai Paistoi reached number seven on the Finnish album charts.
