Music Festival in Gambia has been taking place every year since 2005 in Kartong near Banjul. Local and international artists from western African countries and Europe actively participate in the festival. The festival incorporates both music and dance and also offer opportunities for the tourists to mix with locals and take part in workshops organised by the locals.
Although the Gambia is the smallest country on mainland Africa, its culture is the product of very diverse influences.
