A 15-day multi-cultural music and arts festival offering a step into paradise...
Featuring 150 Top International and African Artists on 4 stages...
Mafia Dance Festival will be hosted in one of the most extraordinary exotic island of the world ... MAFIA ISLAND ...
The festival venue will be located in a coconut forest, next to the beach...!!!
The name Mafia is derived from the Arabic, meaning “group” or “archipelago”, or from the Swahili meaning “the land that heals”.
Mafia island is the largest of a small archipelago of islands and lies 25km off the coast of Tanzania in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Much of the island and surrounding archipelago is a designated Marine Park, and remains an untouched paradise of original coastal forests, surrounded by one of the world's richest marine habitats.
Mafia has a rich history going back 2.000 years partly due to its location in the trading route, between Kilwa and Zanzibar, and there are many ancient ruins scattres between the archipelagos that give you the feeling you have stepped back in time!
Tanzania captures the very essence of the African continent, and distils it into one country, an African Eden of natural riches and cultural wealth. The land of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Zanzibar, Ngorongoro Crater, the Maasai with 120 more tribes, is a very welcoming and approachable country of Africa…
The tickets for Mafia Dance Festival will be limited to 3000. We advise you to get your tickets as soon as the presale starts, as demand is very high and very few tickets will be available at the doors (if not sold out).
We want to protect the island's untouched nature and the quality of the festival. We believe that this is the best for all of us to enjoy and the best way for the organisation to facilitate everyone for this first edition.
Organised transport will be provided ! All information for line ups, venue, flights-transport and more, will follow in October 2009 through our official website, facebook and myspace page.

ORGANISED BY SAMOTHRAKI DANCE FESTIVAL

This is not going to have Daft Punk, it is going to be a very similar line up to that festival on Easter Island.

See link for past performances at their other festival as featured on their DVD.

Plus an event that only has 3,000 advance tickets available is not going to get huge names.

This will be one of those events you are going for the vibe, location, people, etc. like the Easter Island event, Burning Man, etc.

I would rather just take a tour of Africa than go to this.
