About Us

The embracing of the African culture together with people of different race and ethnicity whilst celebrating and learning together bridges discrimination gaps and promotes tolerance.  

Working together with local community groups, Bassenn festival engages the local youths by supporting and providing a platform for under privileged youths with the opportunity to tap into their artistic self and performing talents. This opportunity provides a focus for these youths all through summer towards the festival preparation and rehearsals.
