Nokoué Jazz Festival visits lakeside communities in Benin The Nokoué Jazz Festival sees a musical caravan on the water bringing the sounds of jazz to the shores of Lake Nokoué, one of the largest bodies of water in Benin. After a thirty-year career with tours on all continents, a Beninese musician decided to found the festival, a musical event held in the lake villages of Benin, which often find themselves excluded from the cultural world.
