The Office of The Honourable Minister of Culture,

Republic of Estonia.

Your Excellency,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Michael Oluwashola Akinbode, an African percussionist, cultural practitioner, and community arts facilitator with over ten years of professional experience delivering cultural performances, educational workshops, and community-based music projects across several countries.

I am writing to respectfully express my interest in contributing to Estonia’s cultural landscape through African drumming, music education, intercultural performances, and community engagement programmes. My work focuses on cultural exchange, social cohesion, youth engagement, and the celebration of cultural diversity through music.

I wish to emphasize that I am fully open to relocating to Estonia and establishing my cultural activities locally, should there be interest and alignment with the Ministry’s cultural vision and initiatives. I would be honored to contribute my skills and experience in a way that supports cultural dialogue, inclusion, and artistic enrichment within the country.

I would be grateful for any guidance regarding potential cultural programmes, partnerships, or self employed routes for musicians & artists.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Yours faithfully,
Michael Akinbode
Percussionist & Cultural Arts Practitioner
