On this week’s programme:
This sequence of music charts my musical route through the three days of the Womad Festival; beginning with the Amazonian cumbia of Peru’s Los Wemblers early Friday afternoon and finishing in the Siam tent on Sunday evening with French-Algerian chanteuse Souad Massi.
On the way there was the breathtaking elegance of 79 year old Susana Baca, the extraordinary voice of Mariza, classic afrobeat from Dele Sosimi, the Ghanaian gospel dance of Alogte Oho & his Sounds of Joy, the beautiful tones of Italy’s Mauro Durante, the wondrous kamancheh fiddle playing of Iran’s Kayhan Kalhor, the irrepressible humour of Estonia’s Puuluup, the heart-warming teenagers of Benin’s Star Feminine Band, and Femi Kuti’s fiery show; and much more in between.
