A TRUE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
We the founders of the FEELn festival boast impressive credentials: Grammy nominations, numerous awards including Gold and Platinum discs, and collectively over a century of experience and success in the music and entertainment industry including events. With such a rich background, we embarked on creating the FEELn festival with two primary objectives:
​
1. To contribute meaningfully to the community through tangible actions, education, and inspiration.
2. To champion genuine artists and celebrate authentic expression.
​
Diverging from the mainstream Hollywood approach, we are committed to establishing the FEELn festival as a unique entity with distinct values. These values, emphasizing intimate engagement, raw talent, intimate settings, education, storytelling, and inspiration, take precedence over spectacle and celebrity. While acknowledging that the FEELn festival may not appeal to every artist, we seek those who resonate with our ethos, possess a unique voice, have honed their craft, and are eager to give.
We want to push and establish new voices and create a NEW MAINSTREAM. We want to get the right artists and talents to join us on this quest, create relationships and continue to grow with them.
This distinct approach sets the FEELn festival apart. While other festivals may cater to different desires, FEELn stands out as a beacon for an authentic new festvial approach, both for artists and attendees. We look forward to working with you. I encourage all artists to consider this before contacting us for more information or details.

COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY - Unlike traditional festivals driven solely by profit, the FEELn Festival operates as a non-profit venture. This means that the majority of proceeds, after covering expenses, will be reinvested back into the communities of Bahia and Africa. Our goal is to provide vital assistance to those in need, support children’s education, and empower the less advantaged. This approach also drives our spending. We are clear about the fact the more we spend the less we can give and we want to give as much as possible.
Transparent Giving:
Transparency is paramount to us. Prior to the festival’s commencement, we will publicly disclose a comprehensive list of the projects, charities, and individuals that will benefit from our contributions. This ensures accountability and allows our participants to see the tangible impact of their support.
A great look for you the artist:

​
We’ll be allocating special times for students, young individuals, and the community to enjoy the event at no cost, enabling them to fully engage in the festival without financial constraints. Furthermore, we’re dedicated to offering training programs and avenues for personal and professional development, empowering attendees to succeed both during and after the festival. Your participation can play a crucial role in this community initiative by inspiring and educating and others in a real way. We encourage story telling at your performances, speaking about your journey and challenges and your inspirations will help others.
CONNECTING TO AFRICA
As visitors step into the FEELn festival, they’re immediately enveloped in our profound connection to Africa, its vibrant culture, and its far-reaching influence. This bond isn’t just showcased through the significant presence of African artists gracing our stages but also in the deep-rooted historical ties between Africa and Brazil.
Brazil, home to a population of 218 million, with over half of its people tracing their roots back to Africa, stands as one of the largest black nations outside the African continent, second only to Nigeria globally. Recognizing this historical and cultural significance, it was paramount for us at the FEELn festival to honor this legacy.
Our mission is to cultivate a deeper appreciation for Africa and its enduring impact on Brazil. This presents an exceptional opportunity for you to expand your reach and engage directly with audiences in Africa, Brazil, and beyond.
DIVERSE
While many festivals predominantly revolve around music, the FEELn festival distinguishes itself by offering a rich tapestry of entertainment. While musical performances will undoubtedly feature prominently, our event will also showcase dance, cuisine, fashion, sports, and art. These diverse elements will be presented in intimate spaces throughout Pelourinho, with the exception of sports and dance, which will take center stage in one of the squares, allowing for a larger format.
EDUCATION
At the FEELn festival, we believe that experiencing music, food, and entertainment should be more than just a sensory delight—it should also be an
opportunity for learning and cultural enrichment.
To ensure that our attendees gain valuable insights, we’re committed to providing comprehensive information on various aspects of the festival experience, including:
​
-
