Costa Urbana

The starting point of Costa Urbana is the city by the sea, the Mediterranean metropolis; that inexplicably blissful contrast one is experiencing at the edge of the busy city-port... the strict blue horizon;
the harbour, the voyage... It explores the beauty of the South European, Balkan, Middle Eastern and North African coast and its people; where tradition and roots in entertainment and the arts blend with modernity
and new urban mythology. At Synergy cU will present like-minded live London-based projects and a new breed of roots clubbing from behind
the decks.
