Het Artvark saxofoonkwartet en de Nederlands-Kameroense zangeres Ntjam Rosie komen dit jaar voor het eerst samen voor een veelbelovend programma Homelands. De in jazz en latin geschoolde Ntjam Rosie maakt naam met haar wendbare zangstem, waarmee ze verrassend uit de hoek kan komen met zowel popsongs als raps en Afrikaanse invloeden.

BKO Quintet bestaat uit muzikanten die hun sporen ruimschoots verdienden in de muziekscene van de Malinese hoofdstad Bamako. Centrale figuur van BKO Quintet is Ibahima Sarr, de meesterdrummer die nog heeft samengewerkt en getoerd met o.a. Oumou Sangaré.  Abdoulaye Koné, zat in de band met Salif Keita. Samen met Nfali Diakaté bespeelt hij de djéli ngoni. Zanger Fassara Sacko stamt uit een geslacht van griots en valt op door zijn indringende stem.  En dan is er nog Aymeric Krol, de enige blanke Europeaan in dit fijne muzikale gezelschap.

Rabasa is een typische exponent van de Kaapverdiaanse diaspora. Afkomstig uit Rotterdam is de muziek van Rabasa stevig geworteld in de Kaapverdische muziektradities. De zang wordt ondersteund door uitsluitend akoestische instrumenten als gitaar, cavaquinho, accordeon, trompet en percussie. Kenmerkend is het heupwiegende, volle en warme geluid van de groep, waarvan de vier broers Ortet de kern vormen. Zangeres Terezinha Fernandes, gitarist Paulo Bouwman (beiden ook uit Kaapverdië), percussionist Hans de Lange (Nederland) en Kabiné 'Tagus' Traoré uit Guinée, jarenlang trompettist in de legendarische band Les Ambassadeurs van Salif Keita, completeren het geheel.
