What a night! Thank you wildlive_production and Pako Festa for helping to set the stage for such a beautiful evening of music🎶

Having yse_musique, malomusic and Geoffrey Le Goaziou playing independently would have been fabulous on its own. Having them combine and create a show together as part of the solarsessions was a privilege to witness 🥰🥰🥰

Looking forward to more music, more community and more connection as part of the incredible event that is pakofesta
