Playlist 23.07.2018

On this week's programme:

This show was broadcasted just before the Womad Festival kicked off in the UK and it included: from Haiti, Moonlight Benjamin’s voodoo rock and the folk-blues of Melissa Laveaux; the irresistible party-fare of Havana Meets Kingston; the pile-driving wedding music of Omar Souleyman; the irresistible Bollywood Brass Band; the sweet Cape Verdean sounds of Miroca Paris; and the dearly beloved Amparanoia. Also UK multiculturalists Rafiki Jazz, the Belgian-Senegalese trio Tamala, and Brazilian Nordeste folk from Renata Rosa. All played at Womad.

The same weekend in Dublin saw the “Hotter Than July” free festival take place in central Dublin. The Discovery Gospel Choir, Fehdah and Paddy Groenland were just some of the homegrown World Music artists appearing.
