The festival will also include traditional cultural performances such as belly dancing and west African dancing.
Sudafest, a charity working with the Sudanese community in Bristol, will host the Daluka Circle – a women’s drumming circle – at Faithspace Communities in Bristol, on 2 May.
Organiser Hiba Elhindi said the event is centred around “women’s rhythms which are part of wedding rituals”.
“We’re really excited and looking forward to the day,” she said.
Neill said she hopes this year’s programme “highlights how much talent we have here” in the West and South West.
“There’s loads to enjoy and something for everyone,” she said.
The festival will run from 30 April to 10 May.
