A festival that celebrates African arts
The African Music and Arts Festival (AMAF), a celebration of Africa's unity and culture through music and arts, is a unique arts festival expressing diversity and heritage.
The event is the first of its kind in Namibia and includes music and visual arts performances by Namibian artists and some from across the continent.
Mindscape Events, the organisers, believe that in a world of diversity where often values clash, music leaps across language barriers and unites people of different cultural backgrounds. The festival is called to celebrate unity and culture through music which the organisers feel is currently lacking in the entertainment industry.
“The festival is to expose talent to the national and international music scene,” says Gordon Jay.
The event promises to be a blend of fun and economic benefit for food vendors where one gets the opportunity to taste African cuisine, art and craft stalls from different cultures that will be on show.
Award winning reggae dancehall artist and Disappear hit maker Winky D will be headlining the event and share the stage with Namibian talents including Sally and Savannah Afros.
The AMAF will take place on 2 September at the Zoo Park amphitheatre from 14:00 until late. Tickets are N$200 for adults and N$35 for children.
