The idea for the Indian Ocean Festivals Association (IOFA) came up when Dan Chiorboli (of Awesome Africa Music Festival in Durban), Yusuf Mahmoud (of Sauti Za Busara in Zanzibar) and Alain Courbis (of the Pôle Régional des Musiques Actuelles (PRMA) of Reunion Island) met up in Reunion Island in 2004. The idea was to create a support and information exchange network that could help the circulation of artists or other cultural inputs (exhibitions, conferences etc.) as well as promote training and musical heritage conservation.
