Cultural producer Alfredo Rasta explains that this is a different festival of which there is no previous experience, whether in São Paulo or in other states, which is why the capital, more specifically Zona Leste, was chosen for its holding.

The objective will always be the same. Bringing together thousands of young people around music, using it as a strong instrument to raise awareness and combat drugs, completely contrary to what the majority of public opinion thinks about the rhythm of Jah.
