Biography

Liliane Santana, better known as Lili Fest, is the creator and producer of "Festa da Lili", one of the largest and most iconic LGBTQIA+ events in Latin America, based in Brasília. What began in 2005 as a birthday party among friends quickly expanded, becoming a large-scale electronic music festival, attracting audiences from all over the country and integrating into the global electronic music circuit.

"Festa da Lili" is recognized for its international-level production, with elaborate themes created for each edition, such as "Kairós — The Timely Moment" and "Metal Age". The event stands out for its diversity, the celebration of identity, and for offering a unique experience that blends electronic music, artistic performances, and an immersive visual production. Lili Santana is frequently cited as a central figure in the organization and continuous success of the festival, which has celebrated 19 and 21 years of existence, with projections of continuing its trajectory.

Although "Festa da Lili" is the main milestone of her career, Lili Fest is also associated with other artists and producers from the electronic and LGBTQIA+ scene, such as Rodolfo Bravat, Marcia Bacch, Nacho Chapado, and Chris Cox, who have performed at the event. Her work as a producer and creator of an event of such magnitude cements her as a relevant figure in party culture and the Brazilian LGBTQIA+ community.
