The Anoumabo Urban Music Festival or Festival des musiques urbaines d'Anoumabo (FEMUA) is an Afropop music festival that was created in 2008. It is held mainly in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.[1] It brings together important contemporary artists from Africa and around the world for a week, usually in Anoumabo in the south of Abidjan. It is one of the largest music festivals in Africa,[2] with more than 40,000 spectators in 2017.[3] Admission to the concerts is free and some artists donate their royalties to a local development project.[4] An annex of the festival, Femua Kids, is intended for children.[5]
