Africa Day on Monday 26th May at Trafalgar Square, London Some of the guest artists lined up for the African Day on Monday 26th May at Trafalgar Square, London include Les Amazones de Guinée. They were recently reviewed in the Sunday Independent by Howard Hale. Perhaps it's time to stop being surprised when a group of African militia produce a record as joyous as this, but when those soldiers also happen to be women it does add a further dimension. This Guinean band have been around in one form or another since the early Sixties but, putting aside all the African women's emancipation rhetoric – and judging this on a level playing field – the arrangements are sublime, the playing endearingly ragged and the overall effect beguiling. They may not have put out an album for 25 years but what a comeback! Other Artists include Inemo StephaneTourne, Bassekou and Kanda. Click on Image to view the Gallery.

Dear Organisers, thank you for organising the Africa day. I just want to correct on a minor error regarding the Rwandan flag. The flag you are using is nolonger the flag used. It was replaced in November 2002. You can ask for a new flag from the nearest embassy or you can download it from the web http://www.gov.rw/government/flag.htm.
