Gnaoua Festival of Essaouira (Morocco), Førdefestivalen (Norway), and Festival International du WAssulu (Mali): despite their different contexts, these three events put the names of small places on the international festival map. They have created jobs, growth and positive changes through culture, based in the countryside far away from main cultural spots.
