The Womad Festival kicks off in the UK in just over two weeks and this year’s attractions include: from Haiti, Moonlight Benjamin’s voodoo rock and the folk-blues of Melissa Laveaux; the irresistible party-fare of Havana Meets Kingston; the Ethiopian tones of Meklit’s songs; the contemporary Istanbul sophistication of Gaye Su Akyol; the North African grooves of Tunisian Sabry Mosbah; and the acoustic West African European trio Tamala.
The SoulJazz Orchestra roll into town on Saturday for a late, and probably wild, session in the Sugar Club.
