Nyumbani, Episode 6 headlined by West African Griot, Batch Gueye

Africa Oyé are delighted to reveal a brand new online series of original concerts, interviews, documentaries and DJ sets, which will stream for free online.

The sixth episode of Nyumbani will be held at 7pm on Friday 28th May, with future episodes airing monthly. You can watch the events via the Liverpool institution’s Facebook and Youtube pages.

This month will feature an original concert, dance workshop and exclusive interview with West African singer-songwriter, Batch Gueye.

Gueye is a West African Griot – a storyteller through the mediums of music and dance – who descends from a long line of artists. His songs talk about his own life experience of love, jealousy, travel and immigration, and pay tribute to places he has lived and those he is grateful to.

Following a terrific response from his Nyumbani debut last month, Eat Up Gud’s Greg Falola will return with another Caribbean recipe cook-a-long for the audience to try their hand at in their own kitchen. The FREE online show, hosted by Africa Oyé ambassador, Spykatcha will also feature a set from acclaimed DJ, John Rowlands.

John is an African, Brazilian, Caribbean and Latin music DJ, club and live music promoter who has been promoting Brazilian and Latin bands since the mid 1980s. He has worked closely with the LASF (the Latin American Solidarity Front), raising money for charities in Latin America.

The show will also feature music from up-and-coming Liverpool star, Remée who festival fans will recognise from having played the Sefton Park festival’s Oyé Introduces slot in 2018.

There is no charge to watch the stream but donations are welcomed via africaoye.com.
