Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>The first day of the Prison Festival began Sunday night with music and high expectations, but among the vendors set up at the site, the initial assessment is divided, oscillating between moderate optimism and complaints of weak business.<\/p>\n

Leandro Pires, who started selling recently, expressed confidence in the event’s progress throughout the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cSales are going well. I opened recently, but so far everything is OK. I hope it improves even more as the night goes on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sandra da Rosa, known as Graciete, who sells skewers, described a less encouraging scenario in the first few hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, sales aren’t great. Business is slow, but I believe it can improve over time and with the arrival of more people,\u201d she said, pointing to the need for greater attendance to balance the costs incurred.<\/p>\n

Maria Lopes, a vendor of various beverages, also said that the start was slow, but she maintains a positive outlook.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beginning was calm, but that\u2019s normal. After midnight it usually gets more crowded. We are prepared to serve a lot of people,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

The musical program for the first day began at 11:30 PM with DJ Cash, followed by Trakinuz at midnight, Big Rasta at 1:30 AM, the group Quem e\u0301 Bob? at 2:30 AM, Alyrio at 3:30 AM, and DJ Cash again at 5:00 AM, closing the early morning program.<\/p>\n

The Festival at the Prison, which is part of the municipality’s cultural calendar, once again focuses on a strong musical component, attracting a young audience and emigrants who return to the island during this festive season.<\/p>\n

For small businesses, the success of the event translates not only into cultural entertainment, but above all into the opportunity to boost income in a short period of time.<\/p>\n
