Past editions of this festival have lost their way over time, with songs written by international authors and composers, English language lyrics and recorded music.

Thanks to this festival we will once again pay tribute to the Maltese language and our artists, by offering a space where Maltese music can be played and appreciated.

Through a live Orchestra and a fair and rigorous process for the selection of participants, this Festival provides a high-level outlet for Maltese songs. Three nights of music, celebrating our national language and the local talent that is so abundant; a very appropriate space for the Maltese Song.
