Oaga Art Resort, Maldiverna, har tillkännagett den kommande Kula Kula-festivalen, som äger rum 10-15 april 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 resa genom festligheter

Festivalen startar med det glada Eid Al-Fitr-firandet den 10 april. Njut av de fräsande smakerna från en maldivisk BBQ-middag fylld med internationella influenser, vilket skapar en härlig gemensam matupplevelse. Förbättra ditt Eid-firande med ett besök på vår live Hedhikaa-station, som erbjuder läckra maldiviska korträtter och delikatesser för att berika din palett.

Upplev de själsliga ljuden av lokala Boduberu-trummor, en Maali-parad kombinerad med en liten berättelse om Koadi, tillsammans med blixtdanser under dagen, som erbjuder en fängslande resa genom Maldivian Village. Det lokala bandet Sky Rock kommer att liva upp scenen under solnedgångstimmen med överraskningsgäster som gör föreställningen extra speciell.
