June 20th 2010 - Modou Toure - Africa Oye, Sefton Park

Today was a hot summer's day and, being Fathers' Day, my family treated me to a trip to Africa Oye at Sefton Park. The event is now in its ninth year and is absolutely brilliant. With all sorts of African food, cultural gifts, instruments and goodies on sale...but best of all was the music. This photograph is of Toure Kunda from Senegal. Their music is a take on traditional West African folk music. It was a truly relaxing and enjoyable event.
