Rico Persson
Rico is a musician, facilitator, and creator of transformative spaces where music, presence, and authentic expression come together.
Drawing inspiration from West African and Brazilian musical traditions, he weaves intuitive soundscapes that emerge in the moment, inviting participants into deeper connection with themselves, each other, and the living pulse of the present.
Through rhythm, voice, movement, and collective creation, Rico facilitates experiences that awaken aliveness, playfulness, and embodied presence. His work is rooted in the belief that music can open the heart, dissolve separation, and create a sense of belonging and community.
For more than 15 years, Rico has led workshops and immersive experiences in schools, organizations, festivals, and conscious communities. He is involved in several musical projects, including Echoes of Devotion, Onebeat and Drumbeat.
Instruments: Ngoni, flute, African drums, percussion, voice, loop station, effects pedals, and body percussion.
Echoes of Devotion
Journey
Echoes of Devotion invites you to a musical journey into presence, movement, and deep listening.
Created by musicians Frida Malmquist and Rico Persson, the project is rooted in a shared love for intuitive expression, heartfelt connection, and the transformative power of music.
For this festival, Echoes of Devotion invites you into Dance of Devotion – an immersive sound journey where meditative soundscapes, sacred songs, organic rhythms, and ecstatic dance seamlessly weave together into one unfolding experience.
Nothing is planned in advance.
Each journey is created in real time, guided by the energy of the moment and the collective field that emerges between musicians and participants. Through voice, handpan, ngoni, flutes, percussion, loops, and spontaneous musical creation, a unique landscape unfolds – sometimes still and contemplative, sometimes vibrant, wild, and ecstatic.
Dance of Devotion is an invitation to listen deeply, move freely, and surrender to the wisdom of the present moment. A space where music becomes a living prayer, a celebration of aliveness, and a doorway into deeper connection with yourself, each other, and the mystery of life itself.
