Passport to Africa is a journey through the sights, sounds and tastes that define Africa. A Washington DC-based festival that is growing in stature every year (2008 and 2009 were lots of fun), it has managed to put together a tremendous selection that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning tastes in it’s fourth year.
