Read the full note from Universo Paralello below:
“We are deeply shocked by the latest developments in Israel involving unprecedented simultaneous attacks in several regions of the country by Hamas.
“As many of you know, the “Tribe of New Parallel Universe edition” event was being held in the South region, close to the Gaza Strip on the 6th, one of the places attacked. Israel is recognized worldwide for major electronic music events and the place is known for holding several of them, with a festival with the same profile taking place in the same location the day before.
“Universo Paralello has always licensed its brand for events outside Brazil where a producer is responsible for organizing and hiring linked artists, as happened in the Swarup case. The brand was licensed and the DJ was hired by the Israeli production of “Tribe of Nova”, as happened in India in 2015, Argentina in 2022 and 2023, Thailand in 2023, Mexico in 2022, France in 2016 and 2023 and Israel in 2023.
“Peace and love in the Parallel Universe not only have historical roots, but have always served as a bedrock reminder of the potential of music and culture to bring people together, promote positivity, and create a space where everyone can feel welcome. and welcomed, as has always happened in all our editions, promoting a sense of unity and community, encouraging participants to treat each other with respect and empathy.
“We are receiving fragmented news and all of it via the press or unofficial publications.
“Appalled and extremely shaken, our thoughts are with the victims and their families in this moment of pain, sadness and indignation. Violence has no place in society, regardless of territory.”
