WHAT DO THE PARTICIPANTS SAY ABOUT IMAGINE?
"From the beginning, I told everyone in the band that, no matter who wins, the festival offers an opportunity to everybody. Even if we were to lose, we already felt like winners, so the truth is that no one can lose"
BRENNO (B. FORTRESS)
Lead singer of Imagine Brazil winner's Sephion
"The Imagine Festival 2016 was an amazing event for us. Through the workshops, we learned that music is not only about voices and instruments, but also about expressing feelings through movement on stage. We used that idea to connect with a new audience in a new country, and through that, we made the stage our home. The Festival taught us so much about music and about ourselves. By the end of the festival, we were a better band than the one that landed in Croatia."
