More about Africa Oyé

Africa Oyé, the UK’s largest celebration of African music and culture, takes place annually in Liverpool. Beginning in 1992 as a series of small gigs, and moving to its present Sefton Park home in 2002 to cope with demand.

With too many negative representations of Africa entrenched in images of war, disease, poverty and famine, Oyé seeks to redress the balance and highlight the fantastic range of cultures, foods, music and artists that make this great continent one of the most vibrant and inspiring in the world.

Fifteen years after her first UK festival performance at Africa Oyé, Grammy-nominated guitarist and singer Fatoumata Diawara is set to make a triumphant return to Sefton Park this summer as the Sunday Headliner.
