Caravane d'Afrique is an itinerant festival concept, constantly reviewed, adapted and improved, which will be at its fourth edition in June 2014.

The event features indoor musical concerts and other artistic activities through various urban or rural districts.

For an increased visibility on African Cultures

Caravane d'Afrique could be described as a series of awakening events and meetings designed to give an increased visibility on African cultures through the promotion of various cultural exchanges:

Caravane d'Afrique showcases top level concerts and shows, exhibitions, workshops on African rhythms and sounds, on African tales, a radio broadcasts series, a TV and film project, and more to come.

Sharing the stage in a friendly way

Each year, Amtha Kol invites various artists to get onboard Caravane d'Afrique and share a friendly stage with her. There was thus far, in the programme of previous editions, such artists as Stan Tohon, or the excellent drummer and percussionist Fôô Fanick Dr. Drums.

Among the artists on the concert programme of the 4th edition of Caravane d'Afrique, scheduled for the 7^th June, 2014 we are delighted to announce the exceptional participation of Manu Dibango.
