One Love Africa Music Festival is a festival of Africa modern music popularly known as Afrobeat. It is mainly established to promote Africa music and culture. We have established a set of values that will clarify what we stand for, both for ourselves as Africans and for the outside world. The value base should function as a support in our practical work and permeate all our activities. It is based on having the visitors in focus, togetherness, humility, positive energy, safety, well- being and African hospitality. To create a festival where everybody will feel welcome regardless of the color of one’s skin. We are a festival that is for everyone, and where people across borders meet together with good food and good music. For us, the visitors are most important! Their needs and wishes are met by being responsive, accessible and pleasant.
The idea behind One Love Africa Music Festival is bigger than just arranging a music festival, we want to use this platform to fight against racism, create understanding among people from different culture and also promote gender equality. African music is an expression of positive energy, which is love and peace, together with clarity and security in the work with and around the festival creates the positive energy that is with us at the One Love Africa Music Festival.
