The Douala Music Art Festival (DOMAF) is returning for its 15th edition, celebrating 15 years of artistic expression, collaboration and cultural exchange. The 2026 edition carries the theme Evolution & Territorial Anchoring, reflecting the festival’s ambition to extend its activities across different parts of Douala.
This year’s concept, expressed as One Brain + One Brain = Three Brains, focuses on collective intelligence, collaboration and co-creation. The festival aims to bring together artists, creative professionals, entrepreneurs and cultural organisations to explore new opportunities within the creative industry.
DOMAF’s programme includes a principal festival, DOMAF Academy, the African Digital Art Market (ADAM), Be Tchakala, Fatrêh and dedicated musical experiences, including jazz performances. The different activities provide opportunities for both established and emerging creatives to showcase their work and engage with audiences.
Beyond entertainment, DOMAF has become an important platform for the development of Cameroon’s cultural and creative industries. Its combination of music, visual arts, professional development and networking makes it an interesting destination for anyone following the country’s evolving entertainment sector.
