Michael Stohr, President of Music Africa, says Afrofest was formed from a vision to broaden and challenge the stereotypes of Africa. "Afrofest brings Africans together in celebration while educating all visitors about the vast diversity of the continent,” says Stohr. The colourful festival featured performances by top international groups and local stars of African music, along with dancing, drumming and theatre.
This year’s stellar Main Stage line up will featured Alpha Blondy (Ivory Coast), one of the world’s most popular reggae artists and classic highlife singer Jewel Ackah (Ghana).
Also performing are Culture Force (Nigeria), Njacko Backo and Kalimba Kalimba (Cameroon), Okavango African Orchestra (Trans Africa) Waleed Kush (Sudan), Donne Roberts (Madagascar), Kae Sun (Ghana), Ijo Vudu (Nigeria), Jean Assamoah (Ivory Coast) and many more.
