How did you like it ? I was absolutely amazed by the African art and attitude .We saw African acrrobats /dancers / an African monster which reminded me very much to the Hungarian Busho - we saw a lots of masks and sculpture . One of them look like an ET - really ! Colorful African textile and art . We saw a lots of African families living among us in Qatar but not noticing them here .The highlight for my kids was the African drums . They were invited to the stage to perform with an African band and with twenty other kids . It was a really great experience to be united by the rythm of the drums sounds .
We even got free food and drink . Some rice with lamb /chicken couscous was offered with pineapple juice and ginger juice . They came in small dishes but even so . Rarely I can mention you any event here where anything is offered for free . I remember a book fair where at the French corner sweets were offered only for people with Qatari look . I was there with two little kids who were screaming : Me too , me too ...
I really wish to learn more about Africa after this festival .

P. S. this festival reminds me a North- African festival in our hometown in Hungary where I was working as an interpret - it is a story that I must tell one day - how this exciting and wonderful event turned into a nightmare
