Africa Oyé have announced the line-up for the April edition of their online magazine show, Nyumbani.
This edition of their monthly digital showcase – which takes its name from the Swahili word for ‘at home’ – will premiere on the Liverpool institution’s Facebook and YouTube pages at 7pm on Friday 30th April.
The series, which debuted in late-2020, features original concerts, interviews, DJ sets, and even cooking segments, from artists across Africa and the Diaspora.
Ths month’s show will lead with a concert with legendary British reggae star, Carroll Thompson, who performed at the Africa Oyé over a decade ago, back in 2009.
The ‘Queen of Lovers Rock’ burst onto the music scene in 1980 with the million-selling, self-penned debut album, ‘Hopelessly in Love’. The album stayed in the UK reggae charts for an amazing and record-breaking two and a half years, much of that time at the Number 1 spot.
As well as a hugely successful solo career, the award-winning singer-songwriter, composer, and playwright has featured on recordings with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Natalie Cole, Lee “Scratch” Perry and Chaka Khan.
