“Music unifies, enriches, and resonates with people no matter where they are from. Dedicating an entire music festival to ‘Boom Boom Pow,’ which is not just a song, but more about breaking boundaries, limits and living in the moment. LG XBOOM amplifies the pulse of music and the thrill of the party to make people feel the power of the music in their lives. And LG’s commitment to spreading positivity based on its philosophy ‘Life’s Good,” is the driving force of why we are doing this festival,” Lee Jeong-seok, head of LG Home Entertainment Company’s audio business, said.
Emil Nava, director at 1stAveMachine, added, “Boom Boom Pow Festa is a festival for the real musicians of the world – the performers who sing in our streets and neighborhoods in everyday life. Getting to highlight not only the musicians but also where they’re from and the communities they represent is something that I am most excited about. I am thrilled to partner and do it all with such an iconic and trusted brand like LG.”
