DABY TOURE ; virtuoso guitarist from Mauritania
DOBET GNAHRE ; singer from Côte d'Ivoire
JUPITER & OKWESS INTERNATIONAL ; band from DR Congo

I love Oye and the way it connects audiences from all corners of the globe. I have enjoyed chatting and connecting with artists, bands and fans on social media during and after the festival.
