Kenako Afrika Festival Berlin

In the organizer's words:

From July 24 to August 3, the KENAKO Africa Festival invites you to Washingtonplatz right next to Berlin Central Station.

Under this year's motto "Peace in the age of global warfare", the festival creates space for exchange, music and social debate. It offers a diverse program with live music, dance, lectures, workshops, panel discussions, culinary specialties and a marketplace with handicrafts and fair trade products.

As part of the musical highlights, KENAKO will present a dynamic selection of artists:Inside selection, including Dareel Marley, a Nigerian singer, songwriter and DJ known for his energetic blend of Afrobeat and modern sounds; Mary Anibal, an award-winning Afro-fusion artist from Zimbabwe, who wows with her powerful vocals and soulful rhythms; and Ndungu Kina, a band from Leipzig whose performances combine traditional African drumming, rhythm, song, dance and show elements, inviting the audience to join in the celebrations. DJ MaVert, the up-and-coming resident DJ at AfroHaus Berlin, will provide an additional festival atmosphere.

There will also be creative hands-on activities for children - the festival is a place for young and old to marvel, listen and participate.
