On Saturday 7th August the OASI Foundation in collaboration with APS Bank and GO, held the 19th edition of the annual open air festival Riflessi Sajfin, at the Menqa in Marsalforn, Gozo.
There are 3 main aims behind this event. Primarily to promote local talent as an alternative leisure by providing for prospective young artists an opportunity to exhibit themselves on a professionally equipped stage in front of a big audience. Secondly the events provides a channel through which OASI can promote its preventive messages against alcohol and drug abuse, and thirdly to provide free, family-friendly entertainment to the general public in return for its support during the years.
The three hour festival was a huge success, with a variety of artists performing on stage and with hundreds of Maltese, Gozitans and foreigners attending the event. A number of new performers and other established singers and dancers were given the opportunity to perform this year: Centre Stage Dance Academy, Morena, Miriam Christine, Mikaela Bajada, Ruth Portelli and Nadine Axisa.
