The World Sacred Music Festival

There is always a special aura that descends upon a venue that hosts sacred cultures blended into distinct styles and genres of music. The feeling is ecstatic, somber and deeply enriching, especially in terms of spiritual nourishment. That is an approximate description of what the World Sacred Music Festival is about. After every three years since 1999, Los Angeles becomes the venue of all the sacred riches of the city, welcoming even other forms of sacred music from cities and nations across the world.

The 16-day sacred music festival facilitates performances, music events and a grand spiritual movement throughout the city of Los Angeles. For this duration, music transcends cultural, ideological and religious boundaries, embalming it wholesomely in the hearts of men with a resounding uniformity. Neighborhood boundaries are crisscrossed and cultures mingled, sacred riches are shared and hearts cajoled. The last edition of the sacred music festival was held at numerous landmark theaters in the city of Los Angeles. The amazing thing is that, some events were hosted in churches and others in temples.

Novi Sad EXIT Festival in Serbia

The EXIT festival starts on the second week of every July. The genres of music that feature here are rock, dance, electronica, techno, hip hop, punk and progressive. This live music fun, which is widely known by the name State of EXIT festival, takes place at Petrovaradin Fortress in Serbia, a picturesque setting that makes people look back into the 18th century when the fortress was built.

The Novi Sad EXIT festival started from a humble political beginning and has maintained a high stature within a short time. Sometimes the festival encountered occasional problems with financing its mission of encouraging Serbian youths to enter into the world of entertainment so as to address the pertinent social problems that they face on a daily basis.

The idea was the brainchild of three university students who hailed from Serbia, Novi Sad. The EXIT festival kicked of performances as a Students Union initiative. Several NGOs and many commercial companies have for some time maintained involvement in the activities of the State of EXIT. This festival was in the limelight all over Europe when it was chosen the Best European Festival during the 2007 UK Festival Awards.

Summer gets better for those who choose to attend this exciting exit festival. The people who voted for a whole month so as to choose one festival from a group of ten were really right in seeing something positive about the Novi Sad EXIT Festival that they did not see in other festivals.
