Sonolive Fest in Douala

Sonolive Fest is a free, youth-focused festival at Parcours Vita in Douala's Bonamoussadi neighbourhood, combining technical training in sound engineering, lighting and stage production with public concerts and exhibitions. Its second edition expanded to ten days from a five-day debut a year earlier, under the framing one youth, one idea, one talent, one future.

Sonolive Fest expanded from a five-day inaugural run to a ten-day programme for its second edition, staged at Parcours Vita, a public exercise park in Douala's Bonamoussadi neighbourhood, under the framing message of one youth, one idea, one talent, one future.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

A structured training component - weeks of technical workshops in sound engineering, LED lighting and stage setup preceding the public event - is the concrete feature that separates Sonolive from a conventional concert festival: it treats young Cameroonians as event-industry trainees as much as audience members or performers

02

The mystery stays covered

The rapid expansion from five days in its first edition to ten in its second signals unusually fast scaling for a new festival

03

The city starts moving

Free, open-park admission at Parcours Vita in Bonamoussadi, rather than a ticketed venue, also keeps it deliberately accessible to the youth audience it targets
