When we heard the music of this organic mix of electronica, modern pop music and Ukrainian folk instruments we got goose bumpse, NOW we are thrilled to announce the performance of ONUKA on the final day of the World Bodypainting Festival 2017 AND there is more to come along with them!
The festival sunday is a traditional very relaxed and remixed morning and the afternoon there is the big chill with for example the famous Reggae-Band Big Mountain who became world famous with their hit "Baby, I Love Your Way". The multi platinum-selling band announced a return to the road with their upcoming 2017 tour and Austria with the World Bodypainting Festival is one of their stops.
In co-operation with the team of the popular artist MATILDA we have developed a new competition, the "Purple Brush Award". This award will in future tour around the world, and the finals are presented annualy at the World Bodypainting Festival. With € 2.000 cash prizes plus products this competition is another very attractive one at the WBF for advanced make-up artists.
