Ruokangas-Hako-Rita is an Oulu-based jazz/avantgade guitar duo formed in 2012. Their repertoire consist chiefly of their own compositions. Their music varies from delicate and melodic atmosphere to almost violent avant-garde expression where the interaction between musicians is essential. Besides Finland, the duo have performed in Estonia, Sweden and Italy among other countries. 

Album Mono and Dialogues  was released in May 2018 by Eclipse Music.

"Spectacular, truly spectacular, their version of a classic like Summertime by G. Gershwin is simply amazing, which manages to add new meanings to a song that I consider among the most classic standards."

"One of the best works of 2018. Highly recommended ." (Neuguitars blog/ https://neuguitars.com/2018/09/04/review-of-mono-and-dialogues-by-ruokangas-hako-rita-eclipse-music-2018-on-neuguitars-blog/) 
 
"An album full of contrast, particularly between dissonance/angularity and reflective/structured melodic material, but also stylistically with full-on free jazz blowing assaults, more mannered improvisational environments as in the European vein, blues influenced solos and standard song formats to the rockabilly/surf rock sound of ‘The Real Boy’ are visited across the ten tracks." (FreeJazzBlog/ http://www.freejazzblog.org/2018/06/ruokangashako-rita-mono-and-dialogues.html)
