The Rhythms of Africa Take Over Montreal
One of the most energetic festivals around, the Festival International Nuits d'Afrique fills Montreal with world music, with an emphasis on music with African roots. For its 22nd edition, artists from Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, as well as local artists, will offer some of Montreal's best summer entertainment. The festival is a true celebration of music and culture, with performances so lively that spectators cannot help but move to the entrancing beats.
Take advantage of the opportunity to see amazing artists you probably won't be lucky enough to see elsewhere. Many of the shows are free, while the ones that are not are very reasonably priced. If you're unable to make the trip to Montreal, you can purchase the festival's official album, featuring a compilation of songs by some of the notable artists performing this year.
The Festival International Nuits d'Afrique runs from July 8th to July 20th. For ticket information, schedules and more, visit www.festivalnuitsdafrique.com.
