From April 24 to 26, 2026, Ouagadougou vibrates to the sound of the Afrobeat International Festival, an unmissable event for contemporary African music and Afro-urban creations. For its 14th edition, the festival places African youth at the heart of the scene, celebrating their boldness, identity and creative commitment. Between live concerts, hybrid artistic projects, workshops and meetings, the event explores the links between music, culture and innovation, while highlighting diversity and female vitality in African creative industries. This edition affirms more than ever the spirit of the festival: a space of freedom, resilience and excellence, where afrobeat rhythms meet artistic expressions of today and tomorrow. A great moment of musical and cultural communion not to be missed in the heart of Burkina Faso.
