Now in its 22^nd edition, Barcelona’s hotly anticipated Black Music Festival is back for a brand spanking new edition. Celebrating Afro-American music around the world, this is one of the city’s best musical events of the year.

Running across six weeks, the festival will feature an impressive lineup of major national and international artists in black music. It will kick off at Sala Apolo in Barcelona with a performance from Swatkins on February 8^th and will run through to the end of March. Some of this year’s highlights include Scary Pockets (February 8^th), Seckou Keita & Momi Maiga (February 17^th), Errol Linton (February 23^rd), Catherine Russell (March 8^th), and Bigblack Rhino (March 22^nd).

As in previous years, the festival will be split across a number of venues not only in Barcelona but across Catalunya, with a number of performances held especially in Girona this year.
