Biography

Finnish progressive rock band from Lahti, formed in 1971 by Vesa Lattunen, Markus Heikkerö and Timo Vuorinen, with Harri Pystynen. Classically trained musicians who blended symphonic prog, jazz rock and Finnish-language song, Haikara released 'Haikara' (1972), 'Geafar' (1973) and 'Iso Lintu' (1975) before splitting. Lattunen reformed the band in the late 1990s for two further albums, 'Domino' (1998) and 'Tuhkamaa' (2001), and Haikara ended with his death in 2005.
