SPIRIT
“Primarily people wanted more of everything! More artists, more countries represented, more music, more food! It seemed to me at least to have struck a deep chord. It was the sort of event that people seemed to expect in London but not in Newcastle and I was very pleased to be a part of it.”
Junot Diaz, first ¡VAMOS! Festival, July 2006
¡VAMOS! is about embracing and celebrating new cultures and experiences.
Through the festival format we hope to change perceptions, educate each other and surprise one other!
The Spirit section of the website is where you will find information on artists, informative mini-essays and writings, reviews, is, recipes and the People stories - explaining what their connection to the ¡VAMOS! Festival is and more.
