Middle Eastern 
Rhythm Body 
Workshop
Shauli Hedaya
This exciting and unique workshop 
has toured Israel and Europe, 
and it’s finally here in Toronto! 
Renowned Israeli percussionist, 
Shauli Hedaya leads participants 
in using their hands and bodies to 
create the exotic rhythms of Israel 
and the Middle East. Through games, 
(attempts at) coordination drills, and 
sound exploration, participants use 
basic music rudiments to discover 
the mechanism of Body Percussion. 
By the end of the hour, the group will 
create rhythmic harmony!
Shauli Hedaya is an accomplished 29-year-old percussionist from Nataf, a small 
village near Jerusalem. He is a former member of the renowned Mayumana Rhythm 
Group, having performed with them internationally from 2021-2025. Shauli currently 
plays Afro-Cuban percussion with the Alsheikh Salsa Band. To share his love of rhythm 
and people, Shauli created the Middle Eastern Rhythm Body Workshop for all ages, 
taking it to enthusiastic crowds across Israel, Europe, North America and the Far East.
