It is time again for the Amsterdam Roots Festival. This Sunday you can enjoy, for free, national and international musical acts as well as browse the more than 100 stands that make up the festival.
Among the acts this year are names like: Natacha Atlas & The Mazeeka Ensemble, Zimbabwe's Chiwoniso, and Miami-based Locos Por Juana. Beyond the music, there will also be dance workshops and demonstrations of numerous styles like: salsa, samba, African dance, and tango.
