This year's festival, themed, "conference of birds, when cultures travel " will feature a much-awaited concert of Youssou Ndour and Johnny Clegg in the mythical Bab Makina square.
Youssou Ndour is Senegalese singer, percussionist, songwriter, composer, occasional actor, businessman and a politician. In 2004, Rolling Stone described him as, "perhaps the most famous singer alive" in Senegal and much of Africa. He has been holding since 1985 a mega concert in Dakar for the release of Mandela.
Johnny Clegg has always linked his music to the anti-apartheid struggle.
The famous Fes Forum will debate aspects of Mandela's personality as a militant and politician. The African leader will also be present in the Batha museum for a debate titled "Is a Mandela possible in the Middle east?".
