In celebration of the World Cup, international music and naturally, legendary Brazilian midfielder and socio politcal activitst Socrates, Liverpool's Constellations will be hosting a one day festival this summer.
Taking place on Saturday 30th June, Disco Socrates will explore music from all cultures, with live performances from representatives of Nigeria, France, Egypt, Iran and plenty more, while live screenings of both the last 16 games taking place that day are also set feature.
As well as this, a discussion presented by Africa Oyé in partnership with Bido Lito! entitled 'Can Music Change The World?' will delve into football's power to bring social change across the world while a feature length documentary called 'They Will Have to Kill Us First' will educate viewers on musicians in Mali who had to contend with a music ban in their country.
The musical line up features the likes of Nigerian born, Berlin based Wayne Snow who will deliver his afro carribean, jazz grooves while France's Oko Ebombo will also exhibit jazz tendancies during his stint on stage.
There's also maximalist synths, thick beats, psychedelia and traditional Arabic music from Egypt's Rozzma, Persian MC Gomnam of Iran, DJ Andy Votel’s Brazillian flavoured Subtropical Psychout as well as Richie Vegas of Oyé Players' Nigerian dance floor set and ASJC Lee's UK Jazz renditions.
