As the finale of the three-year European MOST Music project, the first Balkan MOST festival was held in Vesprem, where we had the opportunity to present ourselves. The festival was a showcase for the artists who participated in this European project, and the hedaliners of the festival were Marina Satti, Dubioza collective, Manu Chao and others.
The festival also had an accompanying program, a conference, which included various panels, lectures, and quick meetings with representatives of the music industry. A perfect opportunity to connect with foreign media as well, during which we had the pleasure of talking to journalists from Japan, Poland, Great Britain and Slovakia.
We were lucky to meet Anna Masatova, our mentor from Most Music project and Christian Pliefke, head of CPL-Music, our label, and talk to many colleagues from the global music scene.
