Brazil - More than 40,000 visitors every day recently attended the eleventh Festival de Verao in Salvador, Bahia, North-East Brazil. The four day spectacle featured scores of Latin American bands including Jota Quest, Ivete Sangalo, Chiclete com Banana, Olodum, Asa de Aguia, Jota Quest, Capital Inicial and Daniela Mercury, plus special guest Alanis Morissette.
Lighting designer Marcelo 'Mazao' Marino used a grandMA system consisting of one grandMA full-size, one grandMA light, one grandMA ultra-light, four media PCs running grandMA video software and three MA NSPs.
Marino comments, "Due to the complexity of the system and the need to control video , there were no other control platforms available that are so flexible, reliable and easy to use as the grandMA. We were proud and happy to upgrade the Festival de Verão with this state-of-the-art technology."
Cesio Lima worked as director of photography. LSD Led Solution Design provided the media PC's and Luzbel the lighting rig for the festival.
