Envision the Music! Anna, March 24, 2013April 13, 2013 The people of Costa Rica truly know how to convey the essence of a festival. They dive right to its core and make their celebrations a place to gather and form a crowd of people sharing and willing to share a common idea. Here begins a trade that is just not restricted for the good of economy but also for the barter of morals and notions that reinforce its people. It encourages its visitors to make the most of their time and then leave equipped with the resources that will help them become better versions of themselves in future. Once such live changing festivals in Costa Rica is the Envision Festival that has been best known for its music. It takes place every year between February and March. The trend began three years back when Envision first came to the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Since then, it has thrived among the hearts of its visitors making them regulars. The aim of the festival is to help up bring hale and hearty lifestyles among the people. It chains the cultural aspects of art, music and yoga together and gives its people an opportunity to live… really live. The music of the festival is one of its strongest pillars. It represents the people, the culture and the life of Costa Rica in the best conceivable way. Its unique line up and arrangements lets people loose themselves to the music and drown into the deepness of the sound. Indeed, the magic of music works on the stressed souls and bitter minds and vacuums them anew. The variety and love for music can be witnessed on the three beautiful stages that are set and performed on simultaneously. These are named the Sol Stage, Luna Stage and Lotus Stage with the tea lounge. The Sol stage grips the souls with its spell binding live music performances. This year it lined up national and international musicians of the world that ruled the hearts and minds in every moment of the day. It had performances by 424, Amae Love, Calavera y La Canalla, Earth Harp, Emancipator, Envision Orchestra, Incus, Janover and ReSunator, The Egg, Parque en Espacio, Passiflora, Midnite, Un Roja among many others. The stage for electronic music was christened Luna Stage. The modern and technical beats entranced the crowd and made them dance like there was no tomorrow. The lineup included famed artists and DJs like Adham Shaikh, jOBOT, Nominus, Love & Light, Zack Darling, David Starfire, Random Rab, Phutureprimitve, Gaudi and The Polish Ambassador to name a few. Last but not least the Lotus Stage and Tea Lounge were taken over by artists like Avery Runner, Ayla Nero, BELI3VER, Dubvirus, PulseDrift, Leah Song and MATT GERAGATHY PROJECT & LAURA NEWMAN. The music of the festival is perceived as the kind of mutual experience. It’s the kind that when you meet the eyes of strangers and your own elate state is reflected back. It tells you that the music has touched the hearts of everyone around you exactly the way it touched yours. Apart from the music, the Envision festival also brings art, yoga and speaking forums for its visitors that enables them to live for themselves and others around them and work towards making this planet a better place. For all the music lovers, this one festival is not to be missed. Make sure you get your tickets whenever you come to Costa Rica and make your voyage and an unforgettable experience.
