[Afropop] North America's premier African music festival, Nuits D'Afrique in Montreal, just wrapped up its 39th edition. Afropop Worldwide was there, and we caught 22 bands, many of them Canadian-based, and all quite excellent. And that was just for the last five days of the 12-day extravaganza, the free outdoor portion that takes place in open air in downtown Montreal. Over the coming weeks, we will be presenting interviews, images and videos from our dense experience, so consider this post an opening gambit!
