FESTIVAL REVIEW
Happened between the days February 28 and
March 05, one more edition of the traditional
festival of Carnival, Soulvision, at Altinópolis, SP.
The proposal this year was back to the roots,
and this mission was reached with success! This
edition was considered for many people the
best of all times! Everything contributed with our
celebration! With rain prediction, the public was
prepared for the worse, but they received the
best! St. Peter collaborated, and made that one
rainstorm diverged
from the festival, twice! Those who missed the
fear of rain were contemplated by the God Sun,
in one edition totally without mud!
This year the organization was by Fabiano Mandallah. He chose the best artists, photographers,
producing, decoration, structure, sound system, and everything possible for the welfare of
his public... The structure was very good, green
camp, high sound system, and food spot with
a lot of variety... Every point of the festival was
carefully planned, and the result was totally satisfaction of the public!
