Africa Oye 2016 Brochure

africaoye
We used to joke that Oyé was Liverpool’s ‘secret festival’ because no one had heard
of us – back in the days of Princes Park and then across the water in Birkenhead when
we would only get a few hundred people if the weather wasn’t being kind.
Welcome to
Africa Oyé 2016!
Dance, smile, eat, drink [responsibly] and most of all, enjoy!
So to now be able to look at the photos of the last couple of years with 20,000 people
packed into Sefton Park, and hearing that 80,000 visited us across the weekend AND
as we prepare for our 25th anniversary festival in 2017 ... it hardly seems possible.
There will be plenty of time for reflection ahead of our milestone year next time,
for now, let me welcome you to Africa Oyé 2016!
This year’s music line-up is one I'm really proud of. From the incredible sounds
of Mbongwana Star and Pat Thomas to the pioneering kora player Sona Jobarteh
all the way through to UK talent like Akala, I think we’ve got a fantastically eclectic
selection on offer.
We’ve also been able to bring you even more traders and free workshops of all kinds,
for all ages this year, as well as expand the Oyé Village where you can chill, take your
pick of the world's cuisine, and listen to a great line up of DJs spinning their wares.
And don’t forget, money spent at the Oyé Inn, on Oyé merchandise, photo keyrings
and of course all donations into our charity buckets, will help keep the festival FREE
for what I hope is many years to come.
Oyé belongs to all of us and I can’t thank you enough for all your support in making
the event what it is today.

PAT THOMAS
& KWASHIBU
AREA BAND
SATURDAY 18
Pat Thomas has been hailed as ‘The Golden Voice Of Africa’ with
his unique tone and songs that come from the Fanti and Ashanti
Twi dialects of the Akan language. His music updates the high life
and the afrobeat – vocal and rhythmic music that rose during the
70’s in West Africa.
He will perform at Oyé in conjunction with the Kwashibu Area
Band led by multi-instrumentalist Kwame Yeboah [Cat Stevens,
Patrice] and saxophonist Ben Abarbanel-Wolff [Ebo Taylor, Poets
of Rhythm].
DR CONGO
MBONGWANA
STAR
S UNDAY 19
Mbongwana Star are composed of former members of Congolese
stars, Staff Benda Bilili. Shedding any preconceptions of African
music that an audience may have, they perform an incredible mix
of electro-rock, soukous and everything in-between.
Defying comparison, Mbongwana Star’s socially and politically
fueled lyrics combined with their unique sound is sure to be one
of the highlights of the festival's main stage programme.
GAMBIA

SONA
JOBARTEH
SATURDAY 18
Sona Jobarteh is the first female Kora virtuoso to come from
a West African Griot family. Breaking away from tradition,
she is a modern-day pioneer in an ancient, male-dominated
hereditary tradition that has been exclusively handed down
from father to son for the past seven centuries. Sona has
modernised Kora music bringing a rhythmic edge to her
compositions that fits her remarkable voice.
Sona Jobarteh visits Oyé as part of her TAAMO TOUR,
a ten date jaunt around the UK, which also includes special
appearances at Glastonbury and London Jazz Festival.
MADAGASCAR
DAMILY
SATURDAY 18
Originally from Tongobory, southwest of Madagascar,
Damily is considered as one of the pioneers of ‘Tsapiky’.
This Malagasy musical genre traces its origins to the late
1980s when the electric guitar arrived on the island country.
Like many young people of the time, Damily was seduced
by the instrument and used it to play African and Malagasy
traditional tunes with a modern twist, thus creating what
came to be known as tsapiky.
For almost three decades, Damily and his eponymous
band have gone from stage to stage, taking the public
on a discovery of their rhythmic and charming music.
AKALA
SATURDAY 18
Akala has emerged from London’s hip hop underground
as one of the leaders of a new British artistic renaissance.
Bursting into the scene in 2004, he made history by being
the first unsigned artist to have a video appear on MTV UK’s
‘TRL’ show. 2006 saw his first album ‘It’s Not A Rumour’
drop with trance-sampling smash single ‘Shakespeare’ being
play-listed and championed on BBC Radio1. The album
received critical acclaim and earned Akala the ‘Best Hip Hop
Artist’ award at the 2006 MOBO awards.
Akala’s second album ‘Freedom Lasso’ was an energetic
visionary essay on modern life. His third LP ‘Doublethink’
was inspired by George Orwell’s ‘1984’. In 2013 Akala
released ‘The Thieves’ Banquet’ after being inspired by Kenyan
author Ngugi Wa Thiongo’s book ‘Devil On A Cross’,
recorded with his live band.
DR CONGO
BAJOLI
S UNDAY 19
Baloji is a poet, composer-lyricist/beatmaker, scriptwriter,
actor and performer, video artist and stylist. After the
release of his album Hotel Impala [2008], his Congolese
reinterpretation [Kinshasa Succursale, 2011] was acclaimed
by the world’s press after more than 200 live shows all over
the world.
His music stands at the crossroads of African music, rap
music, the French singer-songwriter tradition, afro-american
music [soul, funk, jazz] discovered through hip hop culture
and sampling; and electronic music [trance, deep house]
which has its roots in part in the region of Belgium where
Baloji grew up.

BILAN
SATURDAY 18
S UNDAY 19
Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Wesli [Wesley Louissaint]
built his first guitar out of an old NGO-provided oil can
and nylon shoe lace when he was just eight years old.
Coming from a family of 8 children where music was

found in the surrounding ghetto.
In an acoustic form or with his big band,Wesli consistently
delivers a rich, festive and uniquely engaging sound.
He conquers the heart of his audience through complex
musical arrangements and universal messages of hope,
truth and peace. Now residing in Canada, critics have
crowned him crowned him “the strongest world creature
Montreal presently has to offer internationally”
Born on the island of São Vicente, Bilan always had music
in his family. In 1999 he moved from his hometown in Cape
Verde to Portugal to study. The first fifteen years of his new
life were spent in Oporto where he recorded his first two
albums [Ar/Água and Sur le Niger – a live collaboration with
the Malian Kora player Sidiki Diabaté] resulting in several
years of concerts around Portugal, playing with musicians
from several origins and musical styles.
After moving to Lisbon, Bilan was invited to some of the
hottest groups of the new music scene including Meu Kamba
and Cachupa Psicadélica.
In 2016 he was one of the chosen artists to showcase in the
Atlantic Music Expo in his home country.

BAND
SATURDAY 18
From the streets of Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania to Oyé,
