What does an African music festival really look, taste and feel like ? Why did the EU and US funding agency’s visit the festival? And how will we build a bridge between the money of the west and the grassroots of african culture? Thanks to Marrabenta Festival and Fatima’s Backpackers the experience and transformation of the 17th annual marrabenta festival in Maputo that took place over Heroes weekend is a great story to be told : any contacts or ideas for music magazines and newspapers who would like to publish a story please let me know struan@afribeat.com Activate to view larger image,
