Summer is back and so is Montreal's most famous world music festival, Festival International Nuits D’Afrique.  From July 13 to 25, 2010 the Nuits d'Afrique invites you to come and dialogue through music with hundreds of artists, singers, and dancers from over 30 countries! With 53 shows this year, come and celebrate African, Caribbean and Latin-American culture, diversity and métissage on our indoor shows or our free outdoor stages. 

From DR Congo’s Konono No. 1 with their style of heavily distorted and amplified sounds to the sweet bossa nova & reggae vibes of Brazil’s Mallu Magalhaes, there is a show for you!  www.festivalnuitsdafrique.com
