      Who said white men can't dance? Put Werrason, Dobet Gnahoré, SMOD, Geoffrey Oryema, Bombino and Wasifu on a stage and see what happens.

      A beautiful day, a cheerful crowd and some amazing artists worked up a great pan-African party in the Dutch city of The Hague. Run by the African migrant organisation Stichting Sankofa, previously responsible for the now discontinued African Festival Delft, the festival offers world class music and is a meeting place for Africans and Dutch alike.

      The festival was presented by Radio Netherlands' Ikenna 'What's up Africa' Azuike.  Here are the highlights of the day. Enjoy!
