Kuunkuiskaajat (dt. Die Mondflüsterinnen ) is a Finnish folk duo, consisting of Susan Aho and Johanna Virtanen. Susan Aho is also active in the band Värttinä and Johanna Virtanen there until 2012.

In 2010 the duo took part in the Finnish qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest and won it with the song Työlki ellää (dialect for Työlläkin elää ; dt. You can also make a living from work ). The group thus represented Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo , but failed in the first semi-final. While their contribution reached 6th place out of 17 participants in the regular audience voting, a jury of 100 members with members such as Hape Kerkeling or Mary Roos voted them third from bottom, which means that the duo missed the ten qualifying places after adding up the two lists with 3 points behind.
