Forzouk 2023

Fortaleza, Brazil
1st-11th July 2023

Organized by Karina Batista (DJ Kakah)
(Forzouk)

ForZouk turned out to be one of the most amazing events and unforgettable memories I’ve had in Brazil. Fortaleza had a special magic that made me feel deeply at home—so much so that I genuinely started questioning whether I should just move to Brazil for good. A huge part of this feeling came from the incredible hospitality of DJ Kakáh, who hosted me and many of the invited artists at her mother’s house. It created a warm, familiar atmosphere from the start.

The group that gathered for this event was something else. We clicked in such a natural and effortless way—it was rare, and beautiful. The vibe was perfect, the energy between us just felt right, and I still think back with so much joy and gratitude to those days. We laughed, danced, supported each other, and truly enjoyed the whole ride.

Some of my favorite moments were the laid-back hours spent at the beach with the girls—getting to know each other better, sipping on caipirinhas, and eating the most delicious local shrimp dishes. Everything came together in a way that felt almost surreal, like I had found a little slice of paradise.
