FAROFFA

FAROFFA x MOTEL MOZAIQUE at DE ZOLDER —18.04.26 We’re still enjoying the moments we created together two weeks ago. It was beautiful to experience such a strong family atmosphere. Kids were playing, people were connecting and vibing to the music of @wes_ver_ and @mf_andrade_ . We enjoyed delicious cachupa, danced together, watched the amazing film Kmêdeus by @nuno.boaventura.miranda , and last but not least, the wonderful percussion workshop by @krmen.mn . It truly was a beautiful day, exactly the vibe FAROFFA stands for. We’re already working hard on our 2nd anniversary, which we’ll celebrate on the 11th of July. Mark that date in your calendar, because we’ve got a big surprise waiting for you! #faroffa #motelmozaique #dezolder #caboverde #brasil 🇧🇷 FAROFFA 🇨🇻 Pics by: @annekaerefotografie ❤️

//Faroffa - At @studiodezolder MOMO festival @motelmozaique By @annekaerefotografie FAROFFA is a vibrant cultural event, and was part of the MOMO Festival (Motel Mozaïque) in Rotterdam, bringing together the energy, food, and music of Cabo Verde and Brazil at Studio de Zolder. So much care and love lived in every detail. A gathering we will remember for a long time. #faroffa #motelmozaique #rotterdam #musicandfood #connection
