40th edition of the Nuits d'Afrique music festival comes to a close

Canada Forty years after its first edition, Montreal’s Nuits d’Afrique international music festival once again celebrated the influence of African cultures.“For an artist, being associated with an event of this calibre means that we matter to the festival itself and to African music," Meiway told Africanews, "because this festival has given so much to African music, and I believe the least we could do to honour them is to be here, and I’m here to express my gratitude to the whole team that has done so much to promote art and our traditions here in Canada.”" And so the Nuits d’Afrique international festival comes to an end, but Montrealers can continue to discover or rediscover African artists from the local and international scenes at the city’s Club Balattou.
