P-Square rock Abidjan








Nigerian twin brothers P-Square, Ivorian Zouglou band Magic System and a slightly grumpy Malian legend, Salif Keita rocked Abidjan's national stadium for the opening night of the MASA festival.  

After years of conflict, the country had become a place deemed too dangerous for top artists to perform and the historic event fizzled out after an attempt at hosting a peace festival in 2007.  

But with the arrival of peace alongside a stable government – the MASA is back – 7 days of music, stand-up comedy, dance, story-telling and theatre.  The BBC’s Tamasin Ford was at the national football stadium in Abidjan for the launch.
