Sure, there were stand where they gave two to drink, for every festival and concert worthy of the name.
But there were the usual stalls.
First, there was only space dedicated to food, with Vietnamese cuisine, culture and too little food present in Ticino.
But above all there were stalls of Emergency, Doctors Without Borders, the protection of animals ... and then that of the hosts:
Espérance ACTI .
You could tell immediately that it was there to have fun, listen to good music, but also to contribute to a noble cause such as charity. And
combine these three features is not for everyone. Yet in music
Espérance is the great success again this year to once a week in a row.

Espérance in music has become a major musical event that is held regularly for seven years. The whole of the evening was donated for the benefit of Espérance ACTI , perhaps for this reason has always attracted big names in music, not only for their great talents, but also for the strong social sense.
But there are just superstars and even little-known groups Ticino has been given the chance to perform on a stage that over the years has become increasingly well known and prestigious.
And the most beautiful scenes of these evenings always have the feature to show familiar faces, great humility, join the various groups to play together, giving viewers unprecedented variations (but always fascinating) of their songs.
genres of music that you can hear are varied and always clearly demonstrate what many deny it, or that there is more than the usual commercial music, groups who are not content to play four notes, but give vent to their creativity.
Among the many names that have been shown to Espérance in music, the first to The mention are Vad VUC , permanent presence at each event and considered by all the hosts of the event.

This year, we can say with certainty, Espérance in music has been a success.
Success public and a success for the public: that night they felt the new sounds and artists, full of energy. Listen
of new groups such as SottoSopra Pussywarmers and showed how the alternative music scene is alive and Ticino full of energy. See
Frankie Hi-Nrg MC accompanied by two cellos was a real thrill, only a marriage at first sight strange but extraordinarily effective.
And then the icing on the cake, with The Vad VUC that submitted on this occasion a great desire to have fun, widely shared by his audience: when it was announced that their entry has left a cry of enthusiasm that has wrapped around the Palapenz. And with them on stage and there was a living legend, the name perhaps little known, but of fundamental importance in the international music: Steve Wickham . Suffice it to say that it was the violin of this extraordinary man that the same can be heard on "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2.
But there was just music, with members of ACTI Espérance who explained their work with passion. It was exciting to hear the vice president, Murat pelitic, jump on stage and yell "thank you!" Fortissimo to the general public.
