The best of Sfinks festival
Sfinks Festival is one of the numerous summer festivals in Belgium, yearly hosted in Boechout, a community on the outskirts of Antwerp. The festival is continuously running for over three decades.
What has made the festival famous is the idea of pulling musicians from different countries all over the world to bring them under one roof in Antwerp to entertain the people, hence the term "Mixed Sfinks Festival".
Sfinks festival is a wonderful place to have fun during the summer holidays. With different melodies and criss-cross rhythm, that explodes with happiness the festival has been one of the best summer festivals in Belgium.
This year's festival (2011) as usual, is made up of musicians from all walks of life. But one musician who is not a stranger to this festival, and keeps on appearing many times, is the Ivorian reggae star Alpha Blondy and The Solar System. It's like history repeating itself. Alpha plays again this year.
