Chad

In N’Djamena’s Bakara district, the third edition of the “At the Heart of Art” festival closed with soaring voices, bold rhythms, and a shared conviction: for Chadian youth, art is not a luxury — it is a future.

At the heart of the event was Cameroonian opera singer Greg Belobo, a laureate of major European competitions, who led the “Camp 500” training sessions.

His presence electrified young participants eager to learn from an international artist who has walked the path they dream of.

The festival, founded by singer and artistic director Célestin Mawndoé and organized by the association Au Nom de l’Art, has grown into a cultural anchor for the capital.
