Directors and founders of Afro music and culture festivals from the United Kingdom, Ghana, Zanzibar (Tanzania), Brazil and the Petronio Álvarez Festival will meet to discuss the history of these festivals and their working models, as well as to explore the focus, content, projection and potential for collaboration and joint work with other Afro music and culture festivals.
This event is part of the PanAfro programme that was born from the partnership between the Petronio Álvarez Music Festival and the British Council, with the aim of expanding the international connections of the festival for its strengthening in terms of circulation, promotion and knowledge exchange. On this occasion, the festival decides to bet mainly on the relationship with African and Afro-diasporic festivals in the world, as well as on developing the link between the Afro-music and fashion sectors of the Colombian Pacific, Sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil and the United Kingdom.
