Montreal's Nuits d'Afrique international music festival (an annual celebration of African and diaspora cultures held each summer in the Canadian city) has wrapped its 40th edition, marking four decades of promoting African arts and traditions in Canada. The milestone was marked by a specially commissioned anniversary anthem, 'Unis par les Nuits' ('United by the Nights'), composed and performed by Ivorian music legend Meiway, while Guadeloupean reggae star Admiral T headlined the closing night. The festival, which provides a key platform for both local and international African artists, continues its mission year-round through Montreal's Club Balattou.
