Dopofestival is a time conceived for gathering the audience and the international hosts together: film makers and producers in competition, members of the jury, festival representatives and other persons involved with Magma. This will all take place in the relaxed nightly atmosphere of the Bambuddha, also offering the chance of enjoying video art short films selected to create a purely visual relationship with international works in the background.

In 2007 and 2008 the group participated in the a-cappella international music festival in Graz (Austria), achieving a second and third place in the jazz category and a third place in the pop category.In July 2008 their first CD, Unashamed Singers, was released.
