Africa-Press – Cape verde. The public gave a positive note to the 28th edition of the Gamboa Festival, which took place on Friday, 20, and Saturday, 21, and lasted until this morning, although they were unhappy with the system for controlling people’s entry into the venue.
Speaking to Inforpress, saleswoman Berta Duarte, who has been selling at the Gamboa Festival for more than 14 years, described this edition as “very good”, saying that everything was under control and that things went well.
The young Gimbo, from Achadinha, in turn, said that this edition failed to organize the entrance, since “there were only two entrances”, which led people to “invade the entrance”.
“We need to be more alert in relation to these situations, we have to have several entrances”, he recommended.
As for the artists, the young man praised the 100% national poster.
“I liked the fact that they only bring Cape Verdean artists, although there are many artists from abroad who have good work, but it’s not bad with the ones who were here.
I liked the artists they brought and I’m very happy, I had a lot of fun”, he concluded. Another young man named Hernani stressed that Gamboa was excited after two years of interregnum.
“The population had fun, but the organization sinned a little in providing only two tickets for this entire crowd. It’s complicated, but the rest was all on top,” she said.
Although he said he didn’t see anyone being searched at the entrance to the beach, Hernani said he felt “a peaceful environment” without much fuss.
Inforpress also spoke with the young Linete, who classified this edition of Gamboa as “very good”, highlighting the end time and emphasizing that the organization was also well, although there were “exaggerated lines” at the entrance. of the artists who performed.
Of these two days, I liked the first one better, because it was better organized and there weren’t many people like today. The fact of knowing that next year there may not be Gamboa here left me disappointed”, she concluded.
