In the heart of Bordeaux’s wine country lies a different kind of intoxication—SunSka Festival, a lush and lively celebration of reggae, Afrobeat, and global consciousness. Running for over two decades, SunSka has established itself not only as a premier reggae event but as a platform for African and Caribbean expression in France.
The festival prides itself on showcasing the roots of reggae and its evolution, often highlighting African voices. Past lineups have included Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, Groundation, and Meta and the Cornerstones, drawing attention to how African rhythms, messages of resistance, and ancestral pride blend into the genre. It’s a musical exchange that bridges continents and generations.
But SunSka is more than beats and basslines. Its vibrant eco-village promotes sustainable living, local farming, and fair trade. Workshops on social justice, environmental activism, and Afro-Caribbean spirituality are part of the agenda. Families, backpackers, and cultural connoisseurs alike gather here not just to dance, but to learn and grow.
With its laid-back vibes, scenic surroundings, and deep commitment to culture and consciousness, SunSka is where festival-goers experience reggae in its full spectrum—from Africa’s heartbeat to Jamaica’s soul, and France’s open arms in between.
