The 26th edition of Festival international Nuits d’Afrique will be coming to Montreal July 10 to 22, 2012. If you're in the vicinity ie. NYC, TO, Philly you can drive that in 7hrs or less.

Every evening, starting at 8 p.m., there will be projections of live sets on the façade of the Maison Symphonique de Montréal ! The Artists hail from throughout the African diaspora and they bring it. This is always one of my favorite events in Montreal, the music is always good and the spirit is always festive.
