DOMAF — Douala Music'Art Festival
Music, visual arts, dance and fashion · Douala, Cameroon
Music — visual arts — dance — fashion
The festival
In Douala, the party is not played behind walls: it goes down into the street, crosses the neighbourhoods, and is shared. That is the DNA of DOMAF — the Douala Music'Art Festival — born as the Douala Hip-Hop Festival before growing into the great multidisciplinary gathering of Cameroon's economic capital. Music, visual arts, dance and fashion: the four disciplines of its official stamp answer each other over four days, from the festival village to the neighbourhood stages.
Fifteen editions later, DOMAF has become a reflex of the city: you come for a concert, you stay for an exhibition, a fashion show, a battle — and for the collective energy its 2026 theme sums up in one formula: “1 brain + 1 brain = 3 brains”. Together, we create more.
The 15th edition: 26 to 29 November 2026
The 15th edition of DOMAF will run from Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 November 2026, from 2 p.m., in Douala. The festival village settles at the Bonamoussadi annex stadium, and the festival radiates across the city's neighbourhoods — Akwa, Bepanda, Bonapriso, Bonabéri, Japoma, Nkongmondo. The edition's theme: “1 brain + 1 brain = 3 brains — Na so e dey” (“that's how it is”, in Cameroonian Pidgin). The pass is announced at 1,000 FCFA.
