Africa Oyé is the company behind the Africa Oyé Festival - the UK’s largest free celebration of African music and culture, taking 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. In addition to the festival, the organisation holds educational workshops in schools and youth groups and promotes shows and tours across the UK.
