Coming weekend there's a two days festival taking place at Parc des Princes called l'Afrique Festival, who are celebrating 20 years existence inviting artists like Sekouba Bambino (from Guinee), Didi B (from Ivory Coast), Yodé & Siro (Ivory Coast), Roselyne Layo (Ivory Coast). However, there's no Fally Ipupa, Ferre Gola, Werrason or Zaiko. What could be reason of it, did they ask a huge amount of money or does the organiser want to put Ivorian artists more on the spotlight. I don't see people talking alot about the event, like it was the case before La Nuite Africaine in 2011 that took place at Stade de France. I wonder if they will manage to fill the stadium during the two days. I heard that Roga Roga would also perform, but I haven't seen them posting him on their instagram page.



Seeing this event made me regret how Koffi Olomidé never managed to perform there, when trying to plan it for summer 2001 and summer 2004.
