AfricaOye


On Sunday afternoon (June 21) , I listened to great sounds of music from Africa in Sefton Park just a few blocks from our residence hall. AfricaOye is the biggest live free African Music Festival in the UK. http://www.africaoye.com/

The sky was grey, and the temperature was cool. But that did nothing to stop everyone from having a wonderful afternoon in the park. They told me the reason for the popularity was because it is world music. Liverpool is an entry point for new groups first coming into the country; and subsequently, its well known for its amazing music culture.
Everyone was happy, dancing and jamming.
