Mama Africa-Israel Festival

With international stars headlining concerts in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem all summer long, the music of Israel can sometimes seem mainstream. However, for a weekend concert that is far from conventional, pack your desert gear and head to the Negev for the Mama Africa-Israel Festival. Held at the Me’ever hostel, a creative space within the Mitzpe Ramon artist community, the weekend-long event is a fusion of African and Israeli music and art. The celebration includes diverse music from live performers and DJ’s, workshops, and art exhibits. Get out of your routine and share in a weekend of cultural richness on the doorstep of the desert, where creative ideas and nature fuse into one.
