In the early hours, on the popular Visa Fusion Stage<\/strong>, each day, for the first time at the Festival, one great international attraction from the selection for the HEMI Award<\/strong> will be presented exclusively, which will delight the audience with a high-quality, modern expression in which digital electronics, live instruments and voices are connected, whose originality often surpasses similar bands from the Western countries.<\/p>\n Badfocus from the Czech Republic will perform on Thursday, 6 July<\/strong>. A spectacular, atmospheric electronic band, with one member playing several instruments, will blow away your imaginations of what a live performance can be like. Macedonian Dina Jashari<\/strong>, a rising southern neo-pop star,\u00a0will introduce herself to the audience on Friday, 7 July<\/strong> and take you to the highest emotional\u00a0spheres with her unique warm vocals. Northern electronic artist Manna<\/strong> arrives from Estonia on\u00a0Saturday, 8 July<\/strong>, bringing a wild, provocative extravaganza that attracts attention wherever she\u00a0performs, while Sunday, 9 July<\/strong> is reserved for Romania’s K not K<\/strong> – a quirky witty duo with a\u00a0satirical-entertaining approach to pop music.<\/p>\n The selection of these four special bands is the result of the work of a joint jury of the HEMI <\/strong>initiative from the Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia, Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia, Romania,<\/strong>\u00a0North Macedonia, Greece,<\/strong> who singled them out from a short selection of nine of the best Eastern\u00a0and Central European new bands, belonging to various genres. The HEMI competition was held at\u00a0the beginning of the year and an expert jury from nine European countries initially selected 27\u00a0bands, including three of ours: Maika, Ljubi\u010dice, Natale\u00e9. From this number, one group from each\u00a0country was later selected, which best represents the new forces from that particular music scene.\u00a0Then the best bands have been invited to perform at festivals in each of the partner countries. The\u00a0HEMI music prize will be awarded to the group that will perform at the most concerts in 2023.<\/p>\n The Hub for the Exchange of Music Innovation (HEMI)<\/strong> project was founded in 2020, as a form of\u00a0cooperation in the field of 10 partners from nine countries of Central and Southeastern Europe\u00a0(CSEE). It is supported by the Creative Europe programme<\/strong>, the City Administration for Culture<\/strong>\u00a0of the City of Novi Sad, and the Ministry of Culture. HEMI<\/strong> helps young people’s creativity, notonly musically, but also in the business field, through support for start-up companies within the\u00a0Incubator and Accelerator<\/strong> programmes. A record seven exciting and innovative initiatives in the\u00a0field of music industry and related activities came from Serbia this year, with projects that will be\u00a0developed in the coming period!<\/p>\n In addition to the concerts of the selected bands, during EXIT Festival, all participants of the<\/strong>\u00a0HEMI projects will also present themselves at the HEMI Corner, in the OPENS State of EXIT<\/strong>\u00a0Zone, every evening from 9:30 p.m.<\/strong> Visit the half-hour presentations, talk to our young entrepreneurs, and meet all the musicians who make up the HEMI selection 2023 right after their concerts!
