A serious complaint by the artisans, after the announcement of the postponement of the 2022 Jamming Festival, which would take place this weekend in Ibague. They had their tents at the Playa Hawaii facility, they stole everything they had brought to sell for the three days of the event.
The cancellation of the event is the biggest blow to the city's economy so far this year, leaving entrepreneurs and citizens with their “arms crossed”, due to the expenses they decided to take in order to offer a wide variety of offers to the thousands of tourists who were going to arrive in Ibague.
For these types of festivals there is an exclusive space for artisans and sellers of different items to exhibit their creations available for sale (t-shirts, caps, jewelry, etc.) Since Thursday night, many of these entrepreneurs left their stands armed with all the merchandise, but on Friday morning they arrived and found nothing.
These people insure their stolen items were from Jamming staff and hired staff members.
Carlos Alberto, an indigenous native of Putumayo, told the local newspaper Nuevo Día that, “I arrived in Ibagué to make our artistic work known,” however, he found two surprises: “one, that the event has been suspended and second, last night we did the editing and today he appeared with nothing, everything was stolen.”
Other complainants are artisans from the Creando Arts and Crafts Foundation, which had a similar situation, “they were told 'go and steal what you can and pay for yourself. We craftsmen, who had nothing to do with it, robbed us (...) All of us who have worked to manufacture merchandise to come and sell it supposedly because it was an international event,” said the victims.
A group of protesters at the renowned 'Casa Babylon' bar located in Chapinero, Bogotá, asked for the refund of the ballot money for the event that was to take place this weekend of March 19, 20 and 21. There are people from other Latin American countries who came to Colombia to attend the festival.
“Thieves” and “liars” were some of the words that were captured on the walls of the bar. Words such as “Ecuador”, “Mexico” and “Costa Rica” were also graffiti, which referred to the places from which foreign citizens traveled to attend the music festival.
Similarly, entrepreneurs and businessmen who had paid to have their brands present in the festival's commercial areas protested.
