Young Africa 2007 is a development project organised by Cultural Association Etnokult. The main purpose of the project is to create stronger ties between the Finnish and the South African youth and to pass on information of South Africa's situation and the ways in which the local people are working on the grass-root level to battle their problems. It aims to inform and break down preconceptions that exist in Finland towards Africa and at the same time make South Africa and its youth more familiar to the Finns. The concrete aim of the project is to bring young talented South African musicians to perform in Faces Etnofestival and several different events in Finland in July and August. The project has received support from the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

This year's band is Black Foot Clan from Cape town.

Esplanadi stage Helsinki 25.7
