Brazil - More than 170,000 people were recently attending for four days the 10th edition of the Festival de Verao in Salvador, Bahia in North-East Brazil, featuring bands including Ivete Sangalo, Babado Novo, Jammil, Eagle Cherry, Margareth Menezes, Beth Carvalho, Asa de Aguia, Timbalada and many more. For this large show lighting designer Marcelo Marino used a grandMA system consisting of one grandMA full-size, one light, one ultra-light, three video media servers, two MA NSPs and grandMA 3D for pre-programming.

Marino reported: "Due to the flexibility, the power and the reliability of the equipment, grandMA was our first choice. We preprogrammed the show and ran it with the total accuracy that is typical for the grandMA. The system is very strong and reliable."

Ivete Sangalo Band, with the programmer and operator Junior Luzbel, who used his own grandMA full-size and video system, installed the console at FOH. The console was interacting with the existing setup, sharing the network and also linked to the main grandMA to control audience lighting.

Besides Marcelo Marino, Eric Berti and Paulo Lebrao worked as operators alongside programmers and operators of each band playing at the festival. Luzbel from Salvador delivered the lighting equipment.
