Africa Oyé 2023 was a hit despite the rain, showcasing an array of African music, dance and culture. The festival, which takes place in Liverpool, UK, will feature both established and up-and-coming artists from across the African continent and the diaspora. The event is known for its vibrant and diverse atmosphere, with attendees encouraged to immerse themselves in the rich cultures on display. Africa Oyé is committed to promoting African art and culture, and has become one of the UK’s most beloved and respected festivals.
Africa Oyé, the UK’s largest free celebration of African music and culture, takes place annually in Liverpool. Beginning in 1992 as a series of small gigs in the city centre, the event has gone from strength to strength, moving to its present Sefton Park home in 2002 to cope with demand.
Africa Oyé
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.
