The legendary singer Haddaway, known for his 1993 hit single ‘What Is Love’, performed at Xwejni Bay, Gozo this past weekend for another successful edition of the Xwejni Music Fest.
Sharing the stage with beloved local artists – including Kurt and Kevin Paul Calleja, Ryan Spiteri, Clint Bajada, Jolene Samhan and Micimago – the International artist was welcomed by a massive audience eager to celebrate and bust some moves.
Taking to social media, Gozo Minister Clint Cmilleri said that the second edition of the festival surpassed all expectations.
‘Festivals of such a level continue to offer value and strengthen the cultural niche in Gozo’, he said, sharing images of the night. With fireworks colouring up the festival even more, the Xwejni Music Fest continues to expand the musical and cultural scene of the Maltese islands.

A reply to a comment on a post by Inclusion Minister Julia Farrugia Portelli did not go down well with local social media users, after the Minister suggested combatting the power cuts by keeping busy with a book.
The Minister had posted a photo after having exited a public library, to which a Facebook user commented: ‘Whilst you’re posing for photos, the majority of the people feels exhausted with your actions’.
The user, Christian Borg, went on to highlight the current power cut issues, saying that after a day of work, one returns home only to find no electricity.
The Minister’s response revealed that she too was without power. ‘I understand that it is not a joyous situation’, she replied. ‘We read a book until power returns.’
The reply did not go down well, with one other commenter urging the Minister to say the same to the elderly currently stuck at home in the heat or those who risk losing vital medicine due to their refrigerators not working, amongst others.
What do you make of this situation?
