Atlantida Music Festival
29/01/05
Porto Alegre/RS - Brazil





Atlantida town, 2 hours drive from Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul.
The Atlantida Music Festival happens every year since 1996. It’s a big reunion of every type of music tribes.
From pagode (Brazilian rhythm) to electrohousemusic. Indeed such a big festival attracts lots of people. 90.000 people came over for the 2005 edition.

Smartbiz, an international Dj Agency based in Sao Paulo, were kind enough to book Each & Oscar Bueno to dj at the VIP area of the Festival. www.smartbiz.com.br

At the same time The World Social Forum was taking place in Porto Alegre. Oxfam, Amnesty International and many others worldwide NGOs were discussing issues regarding the well being of the Global Society, including the 1st Referendun on gun control in the world, settled to happen in Brazil still this year.

Would have been amazing to have a great Control Arms Campaign in this Festival, as the World Social Forum was happening just next door.

We started to contact the organisers of the Atlantida in November 2004, however it was already late. At that stage the organisation of the Atlantida Music Festival was completely settled up and to add the Control Arms Campaign would not be possible. Maybe next year…who knows…

Even though I got 6 sign ups for the Control Arms Campaign.
