Four days of Music, nature and Culture in Italy

This fast growing festival arrived at its 5^th edition and it's become a reference point in Italy for all Sound System movement in Italy due to its skill to create a magical vibe and the attention to nature. Creativity and cooperation are the keywords for the organizing group, the Aps Arci Bolognesi.

The frame of the event is the wonderful farmhouse “I Due Laghi” located in Gambulaga (Ferrara) that offers a swimming lake and a Bio swimming-pool, precious during the hot italian summer's afternoons, and where all day long the Heavy Rootation Sound System – from Venice - gives voice to many Italian crews that follow each other in four afternoons of the festival.

In the main yard - the night one – legendary artists like Jah Shaka, Channel One, The Disciples, Jah Tubby’s and many more, have spread their vibes in past editions. This year we have had the pleasure to live the great sessions of Alpha Steppa and Jonah Dan, Dan I ft Afrikan Simba and Violin Bwoy on the powerful Imperial Sound System. Etrurian Sound System ft Maasai Warrior, Charlie P and Salomon Heritage ft Ras Tweed. King Shiloh Sound System ft Earl16 and the wonderful sista Nish Wadada.

The last day, sunday june 28^th, for a great festival closing, the Mighty Aba Shanti-I in a vibrating and emotional afternoon session.

During all the event a small Beer Fest took place, it was possible to find many different type of beer produced by local artisans.

What to say... a great human, artistic and cultural experience.

See you next year Zion family!
