“UNUM comes from the Latin word meaning ‘one.’ Specifically, UNUM Festival stands for unity. The unity between man and nature, nature and music, and of music itself as the universal force that unifies all cultural elements. As such, the festival will unite youth from various cultures through their love of music, their love of nature and curiosity in discovering new and beautiful shores.”
More than 60 renowned DJs from all over the world will get to play their brand of electronic, techno and house music in the three stages of the festival, perfectly set up by the pine forests, seashore and mountain. A boat party will take place for the entire four-day duration of the event where, among many other famous names, Joseph Capriati, Luciano and Ricardo Villalobos will perform.
