Present will be a focus on assiko planned for this edition. A musician gives reasons for her participation: "what I find in the South team, is this activism for creation and life. Assiko and other Cameroonian rhythms have always fascinated me. Beyond the music, therefore, there is combat, as stated Kilama: 'ethnic music as I call it, is so difficult to be heard, to be accepted. But even if this music is not played everywhere, it has its roots, a force. And since 1988, I fight for this music to have its place. "
