It takes place in Monléon-Magnoac (department 65 )a small village at the bottom of the Pyrenees range, where the inhabitants open their doors and their arms to welcome all festival-goers during 3 days of music from Brazil on a wide program both in the streets and on stage. Samba Répercussion concept , in a way , is the opposite of those " concerts supermarkets ".
In a friendly atmosphere, with an organisation of character , a batucada background , Sambarepercussion is an opportunity for a break within our hysterical world , going back to the roots, a cultural festival , a proposal for another way of living together, at human size , and the music will be the link between things and people
Sambarepercussion concept aims to allow every one to live within the village during the whole week-end
Whether you come by yourself ,or with your family or friends , you will be led by the sound of batucadas , street theater shows , concerts on the big stage , and collective percussion rehearsals
You will also find a craftsmen market , you will enjoy exhibitions , a small cinema , workshops for your children , as well as places where you can eat , or rest , stay quiet , or even play music freely on the open stage with your own group
This festival is also a place where we will share our questions about the future , both in a social and sustainable way , of our world , through exhibitions , interactive shows , alternative cinema , decorations made of recycled materials
This " ecological and social " state of mind has fed each thinking , each choice and each kind of organisation , from the very beginning of the creation , up to the D Day
Besides after these moments of fun , and questionnings , we will need time to relax , to link body and mind in such activities as Qi Gong and Yoga sessions , or running , or walking , in the morning
Between the different events it wil be possible to rest and find quietness in some places
But of course the pleasures of the body also include food , with full-flavoured dishes , all cooked by ourselves , using a maximum of local and organic products whenever we can afford it , so that everyone can have access to quality and energetic food
And finally a free campsite will be available for a safe night (out of the roads ...)where you will use solar showers in order to reduce our impact on climate
