More than 40.000 visitors every day recently attended the 11th Festival de Verao in Salvador, Bahia, North-East Brazil. The four day spectacle featured scores of Latin American bands like Jota Quest, Ivete Sangalo, Chiclete com Banana, Olodum, Asa de Aguia, Jota Quest, Capital Inicial and Daniela Mercury, plus special guest, American singer 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 mediaPCs running grandMA video software and three MA NSPs.

Marino explained his choice of the grandMA: “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. Every day we discover that the grandMA system is better than the rest. 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 in the realisation of the festival.
