27 May 2007 – 29 May 2007

Now in its fifth year, with gigs taking place throughout the capital during May, the LAMF showcases the finest performers from the African continent both established and emerging.

This year’s female theme lends a soulful touch that you would be mad to miss out on, such as Algeria's supreme Les Orientales and South African diva Simphiwe Dana.
