History
Clandestino Festival is an alternative music festival that also includes other art forms and talks, that has taken place in Göteborg since 2003. The festival features international artists from places that are shaped by the the waves of global migration, creating a new alternative to commercial mainstream culture.

One of the original motifs was to bring attention to the case of Peter Ekwiri who was incorrectly deported to Ghana, even though he came from Uganda and Sudan,  after having been refused asylum in Sweden.

The festival reaches beyond multi-culturalism and fights the new faces of racism. It takes place at the center of migration and pluralism and challenges dominating ideas of cultural differences. The project in its entirety inspires to think rethink differences between people, beyon exotism, victimization and demonization.

By means of a genre defying electronic uproar, a posing of known and future legends, underground academic excursions and suggestive sound art, Clandestino Festival creates a different heart beat.

Over the years we have had the honor to present artsists such as Lee “Scratch” Perry, Orchestra Baobab, Fatoumata Diawara, Buju Banton, Hindi Zahra, Konono N° 1, José González, Susheela Raman, Little Dragon, The Göteborg String Theory, Khaira Arby, Wu Fei, Junip, Tavlin Singh, Fun^da^mental, Midaircondo, Le peuple de l’herbe and many, many more. A few examples of authors we have presented: Nawal El Saadawi, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak och Trinh T Minh-ha.
