Records and Tours

The first phase in the career of Mieskuoro Huutajat is documented on the EP Record "Pohjoinen kotimaamme", which was a surprise hit in the Finnish single charts at #8 in 1988. It includes the basic patriotic songs. From then on, the choir have expanded their repertoire with children's ditties, worker's songs, national anthems and quotes from Finnish laws and international treaties.

The second EP "Six National Anthems" was released in 1990 by Poko Records.

The third recording, "H.Y.V.Ä", was released at the 1994 Roskilde Festival by Bad Vugum. The CD version contains also the EP "Six National Anthems".
