Oaga Art Resort, Maldives, has announced the upcoming Kula Kula Festival, taking place from April 10th to 15th, 2024.

“Kula” translates to “colour” in Dhivehi, the Maldivian language. Kula Kula, with its playful repetition, signifies an abundance of colours. This vibrant celebration promises an immersive experience into Maldivian culture, pulsating with music, dance, visual arts, and a taste of the archipelago’s unique traditions. Building on the foundation of last year’s success, the 2024 Kula Kula Festival promises an even richer experience.

En rejse gennem festligheder

Festivalen starter med den glædelige Eid Al-Fitr-fejring den 10. april. Nyd den sydende smag af en maldivisk BBQ-middag med internationale påvirkninger, hvilket skaber en dejlig fælles spiseoplevelse. Forbedre din Eid-fejring med et besøg på vores live Hedhikaa-station, der tilbyder lækre maldiviske korte måltider og delikatesser til at berige din palet.

Oplev de besjælende lyde af lokale Boduberu-trommeslag, en Maali-parade kombineret med en lille fortælling om Koadi, sammen med flashdanse gennem dagen, der tilbyder en fængslende rejse gennem den maldiviske landsby. Det lokale band Sky Rock skal sætte liv i scenen i solnedgangstiden med overraskelsesgæster, der gør forestillingen ekstra speciel.
