Finn Björnulfsson – Percussion workshop

Percussion workshop - Welcome to Rio de Janeiro's samba world! (9 – 19 years)

Brazil's colorful music scene has fascinated the world for decades. In a melting pot of different cultures and influences, one of the greatest spectacles on earth has been formed - the carnival!

The purpose of this workshop is for students to create a Brazilian samba orchestra - a bateria. The students get the opportunity to make music together, play percussion and experience gaming joy.

The teaching is interspersed with short percussion numbers, body percussion and travel stories from Brazil. The workshop is therefore also experienced as a concert and show. 

Finn Björnulfson is best known for its many years of collaboration with Håkan Hellström, where he integrated percussion into pop music. Finn has also done projects together with Timbuktu, Fibes! Oh Fibes! José Gonzalez and samba schools in Rio de Janeiro. Finn Björnulfson is a sought-after workshop leader and has over 20 years of teaching experience, in Sweden and in Europe. During the workshop, the students get to meet a very experienced artist with, among other things, five Ullevi concerts in his luggage.

In the video below you can see an example of Finn playing body percussion.
