When asked why the name of this Festival, Lauryn Hill said that the Festival will present different music, culture and style. It’s a rich festival. She also said that: 

 Even if we work independently, we are a resounding collective voice, both reconciling and embracing our relationship to history, our origins, our future and to ourselves.

Lauryn Hill performed last Friday and it was sold out. Her performance marked the beginning of the Festival on the music side. Her concert was live streamed by TIDAL.
