Three days of music with Caribbean sounds, beautiful landscapes, and excellent cuisine. This was the first electronic music festival in the Caribbean, conceived and created by Colombian artists.
The breeze, the sun, and the sea were the perfect accompaniment for three days of electronic music in Curaçao, where not only the Colombian artists who performed on the different stages of Almar Fest stood out, but also the streets, cuisine, architecture, and paradisiacal beaches that characterize this island located in the heart of the Caribbean.
The Colombian artists shone, not only for their talent and performance, but also for putting all their effort into organizing Almar Fest and proudly saying they managed to break the bank as the first electronic music festival in the Caribbean.
Music and talent at Almar Fest
Fire shows, dancers on stage, lights, and a high-level performance mingled with electronic music and Caribbean rhythms during three days of celebration.
Durán, Kamilo Sanclemente, Sebastián Morxx, John Reyna, Alejo Chaves, Solaria, Xaman, Fabi Hernández, Kaiser, Prieto Kolorao, Edu Torres, The Faces, among others, were present on the different stages of this experience that captivated the senses of the attendees.
“The outcome couldn't have been better. Expectations were exceeded 100%, the vibe was incredible in a venue that lends itself to anything, the music was very appropriate for the occasion, and I think we deserve a second edition of this wonderful festival.”
Artist Kamilo Sanclemente told Caracoltv, highlighting the power that Colombian music has for being on the same level as an international show.
On the other hand, artists The Faces enchanted the audience with their good vibes and brought all the flavor of the Colombian coast to the beaches of Curaçao.
“It was an incredible show we put together, highlighting our instruments, music, and good energy. Not to mention the audience, who filled us with joy.”
Tourism in Curaçao
The Almar Fest not only provided an opportunity to experience and enjoy a great musical experience, but also helped its attendees understand why Curaçao is like an open-air museum, with its colorful streets adorned with graffiti by local artists. This visual attraction is sure to impress and is a must-see tourist attraction.
Not to mention its cuisine. Typical dishes include Arepa Di Pampuna (pumpkin omelet), Papaya Stobá (papaya stew), Jambo (okra soup), and Keshi Yená (stuffed cheese); an explosion of flavors for all tastes.
“Curaçao is a charming island. It's very colorful and has something very special about it: its friendly and helpful people. The cuisine is incredible, and for me, the best part is that we're very flexible in communicating with everyone because we speak four languages: Papiamento, English, Dutch, and Spanish.”
Curaçao's Minister of Economic Development, Ruisandro Cijntje, assured Caracoltv.
If you're traveling to Curaçao from Colombia, you don't need a visa, and the direct flight from Bogotá takes no more than an hour and a half. So, be prepared to be well-served in Curaçao thanks to the hospitality of its people, who will call you "Dushi" in Papiamento, which means "Darling" in Spanish, from the moment you arrive on the island.
