When the Funky Elephant blows its fanfare and stomps into town with a bumping rhythm, you know for sure that spring has arrived to Helsinki! During the second weekend of April, Funky Amigos once again offer their audience a thumping trip into the world of black rhythm music.

The purpose of the festival is to bring together top-notch Finnish artists, upcoming new talent and current musical phenomena from funk to groove music, from hip hop to reggae as well as from jazz to world music. A special emphasis in our lineup has also been given to Finnish afro sound. Check out the festival's full program and hop on the Elephant HERE
