Radio 2020

The monthly Oyé show on Melodic Distraction features music from across the Diaspora, chat and anecdotes, interviews, recordings from the festival archives, interviews with artists and organisers, and monthly guest mixes. The show is a reflection on what has happened – and an exploration of what’s to come in the wonderful world of Oyé.

Join your hosts – Oyé’s Paul Duhaney and Spykatcha – on the first Wednesday of every month, at 6pm (UK time) on Melodic Distraction.
