Fiestas de Palmares Concerts Showcase CHAUVET Lighting

At this year’s annual Fiestas de Palmares in Costa Rica, CHAUVET Professional helped to power the concerts at the Barra Imperial stage with 16 high output Maverick MK2 Spots.

During the 10-day festival, the concerts featured performances from Sean Paul, Gente de Zona, and Zion y Lennox with accompanying light shows created by Ronald Goñi and Jairo Barrantes. The two designers used aerial effects and different crisp gobo patterns to vary looks on the stage throughout the festival.

To get the fixtures into position, Goñi and Barrantes flew their Maverick MK2 Spots in on ladder truss structures located to the right and left of center stage, as well as on horizontal and vertical overhead truss.

“The Mavericks worked very well to help us create some intense looks and change up those looks to keep the audience engaged over all the different performances,” said Goñi. “We have been searching for a powerful fixture with the characteristics of a 700-watt spot and we found it in the Maverick. When we came across the Maverick we decided to invest in them because their flexible size was ideal for all types of events, from a bar to a concert with a national act. We were blown away when we did side-by-side comparisons with our other spots in our inventory. Everything from the power, to the color and gobos really stood out to us.”
