			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>&#8220;The idea behind the Boom is to create a space in this time continuum where people from all over the world can live an alternative reality. It’s a festival dedicated to all free spirits.</p>
<p>It’s a celebration of intuition and telepathy as we watch how communication changes along these few days and how in the end there is no more need for words.<br />
We are re-born again into a reality of being in constant Universal Trance, in this state all changes are possible, the Universe is “at our fingertips”… we can mould it!<br />
The aim is to join a huge worldwide family in the present time continuum and in together allowing the Culture, the Love, the Sacred Earth and the Art to melt and mingle and eventually… Boom! We all take one big step together…</p>
<p>Every culture is expressed by its Art, emanating through the many expressions and shapes it assumes. A cultural event as a means of expression does not just focus on one of the aspects of the Art, but on the whole.Boom is an Art event, born from a culture which has long grown in the margins of mainstream culture reaching new expressions and visions. A whole world of people involved in the alternative, psychedelic and independent culture get together to show and share what they have found inside the Conscious Fractal, the Wholeness, the Oneness, the Truth.</p>
<p>Thoughts, music tracks, sculptures, paintings, clothes, films, photos, ideologies, experiences, communication, philosophies and lots more, all enhancing the possibilities of our life’s experiences. All adding to the Universe.<br />
The Full Moon of August has always been our guide as far as the Boom calendar is concerned. It’s an ongoing tradition with a few years now (it is the 8th edition) and this has decreed the dates of the Boom festival since its birth in ´97.<br />
Boom festival, due to its conscious shapeshifting and mutating properties, happens every two years in sync with the truth of impermanence, in sync with the Full Moon.&#8221; Boom Concept</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blasted Mechanism is a Portuguese electro-rock band known for its highly theatrical live shows involving elaborated alien-themed costumes as a backdrop to their music.<br />
The band was founded in 1995 by Karkov and Valdjiu. New members joined later to form the current line up. As they like to put it &#8220;they weren&#8217;t created but invented&#8221;, blasting into the Portuguese music scene with a very different sound and visuals.<br />
They quickly became known for their extravagant audiovisual performances involving alien and tribal looking musicians and an irreverent, upbeat attitude. Over the years, they developed a unique musical style that mixes alternative rock, electronic music, reggae, dub and folk.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chebika, Tamerza and Midès are three oasis situated in the Djerid region of south west Tunisia, just a couple of kilometers from the border with Algeria. Chebika is a small mountain oasis town surrounded by a dry and arid desert region, just north of the salt lakes or Chotts. Tamerza is a sizeable mountain oasis amidst a dry and arid desert region. Tamerza is 65km northwest of Tozeur and 95km west of Gafsa. Midès. Although it is the last of these oasis refuges to be reached and is still relatively undiscovered, it is perhaps the most fascinating of them all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each section of the Palmeraie is privately owned. In addition to date palm trees, some sections have bananas, fig trees, pomegranate, and orange trees. The Tozeur Palmeraie is watered by more than 200 springs that produce almost 60 million litres of water a day, using a complex system devised by the mathematician Ibn Chabbat in the 13th century AD, each tree receives water for 6-7 hours a week. There are over 3,600 distributors of water that distribute the thermal water. Around each tree the ground is mounded into a short wall, preventing the water from flowing away. To guarantee the best date and largest quantity, the male tree reproductive part is cut and put into the female treetop.</p>

<p>If you fly into Tunis you will probably notice a small woman rushing around the airport as if to depart on a long journey. Her name is Tezer and she is about 70 years old. She is of berber origin, from Kaalat Sinan, a town in western Tunisia in the Kef Governorate. Tezer was widowed from her first marriage and is now separated from her second. A few years ago, her son emmigrated to Italy, in search for work and a better life. For more than 6 years now Tezer has been waiting for domestic flights at Tunis airport, in the hope that her son will one day come back and take her with him to Italy.</p>
