The best thing I've ever felt.

Today I'm going to explain the best feeling I've ever felt. This summer I went to a reggae festival with five friends for 9 days. Rototom Sunsplash reggae festival is a collective that is devoted to combining music with its cultural contents, by organising live shows that often involve a strong social commitment. It was in 1991 when this collective began preparing concerts. This year it has been the 17th edition of this festival.

The Rototom Sunsplash of 2010 has got more than 100.000 persons together. Musical groups from all over the wolrd have assisted to this edition, and they where of different kinds of music: reggae, dancehall, ska, dubs, hip hop..


But Rototom is not only music, there are also musical and cultural activities on offer to the public: debates, the Reggae University, an open-air market, magicogioco (games for children), films, photo exhibition, art projects, etc.



Here you are a resume of the first weekend in Rototom 2010. As you can see, the heat was stifling in Benicassim. The eight days of Rototom coincided with the hottest days of all the summer. The sun was hot since we woke up to the sunset, and we really got a suntan.
I remember that I absolutely enjoy these days. I saw a lot of famous groups, for example, Alborosie, who has made a song dedicated to Rototom Sunsplash: Free Rototom.


It was curious too that there were people of all ages: activities for old people, for families, for children.. And I think this festival is positive for the families, as you can see in this photo, because Rototom transmit a feeling of peace unforgettable.

Well, I think here you are a lot of information of the Rototom, and I invite you to Feel It next summer.
