The poster shows a typical African night. It's a very dreamy poster.

First, there are two new scenarios: The Batel and the esplanade of Alfonso XII dock next to the auditorium.
In Batel is where you hold the inaugural gala event on 19 July, and where you will be given the first prize in the Sea of Music, singer Oumou Sangare Africa, in recognition of his artistic career and rights humans.

The FIPS SES NÃ "RDICOS TO AFRICA
Last year, the festival's closing was announced that the guest of this edition would be the Nordic countries.
However, the organizers have had to adjust its decision which allowed the budget, which is 540,000 euros.
Having to reduce from 16 to 10 days the festival, did not seem appropriate to devote a territory as large as the Nordic countries.
We prefer to do Africa now and in future editions destine them to a different Nordic country like Norway and Finland, for example, has ensured Martin.
Also, there was talk of eliminating the parallel activities of the Sea of Music, such as the Sea of Art, Film and Arts, a fact that Martin has denied.
This year there will be a space for film, literature and exhibitions of African artists. Still can not forward anything, but we are thinking of doing something to see what Japanese and French are the perceptions of Africa, said the director of the festival.
