African Beats Festival

A West-African-rooted weekend half an hour from Warsaw — djembe and dance workshops, griot song sessions with kora, capoeira Angola, morning yoga and African ecstatic dance beside evening concerts of desert blues and afrobeat stars.

The travel-meeting and cinema strands add context to the rhythm; the kids’ zone makes it a genuine family outing. Concert-led rather than ceremony-led, but participatory to the bone — you will drum, dance and sing whether you planned to or not.

Roots, rhythm and openness — a celebration of tolerance you join with your hands.
