There are plenty of new and varied acts on the line-up. From\u00a0Groundation<\/strong>, a Californian band blending reggae, funk and dub, to icons such as the Brazilian\u00a0Arnaldo Antunes<\/strong>\u00a0and the Cape Verdean\u00a0M\u00e1rio L\u00facio \u2013 with The Pan African Band \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0MED has just added further quality to the 2026 line-up.<\/p>\n

With a career spanning three decades, the Polish band\u00a0Dikanda\u00a0<\/strong>are also confirmed, as is the psychedelic rock of\u00a0Lalalar<\/strong>, who travel between Germany and Turkey. In the same rock vein, but with a strong connection to Arabic music and mixed with jazz, comes the France-based collective\u00a0Sar\u00e3b<\/strong>Also from France is\u00a0Cyrille Brotto<\/strong>\u00a0(accordion), accompanied by\u00a0Ablaye Cissoko<\/strong>\u00a0(Kora, Senegal).<\/p>\n

Based in South Korea but drawing on diverse influences from North Africa, dub and Afro-beat, the collective\u00a0Omar and the Eastern Power<\/strong>\u00a0are set to perform in Loul\u00e9.
