Commenting on the event, Africa Oyé Artistic Director, Paul Duhaney says:
“Our ethos at the festival with our ‘Oyé Introduces’ programme has always been about giving local artists the chance the shine and share the stage with international artists. I’m delighted that we’re now able to do that outside of the festival by featuring the L100 Cypher alongside ‘Introduces’ alumni, Nelson; it’s going to be an inspiring night for our city’s young talent in a fantastic venue.”
