Kimmo Pohjoinen (né le 16 août 1964 à Viiala) est un accordéoniste finlandais qui a révolutionné la pratique de l'accordéon avec ses accordéons modifiés et électrifiés. Il a su « s’aventurer vers une fusion inédite entre trad, électro, jazz et rock » et « s’est imposé comme un ovni essentiel au royaume des musiques expérimentales, ensauvageant son folklore à moins que cela ne soit le contraire. ».
