WOMAD has now announced the first names of the exciting line-up for 2009; Ethiopia’s biggest music names, The Ethiopiques, the funky, hi-Tec septet from New Zealand Fat Freddy’s Drop and US soul legend and Grammy winner Solomon Burke will be joined by his band. Also joining us this year will be Nigeria’s Afro beat singer/songwriter Nneka, another thrilling sound from Ethiopia, Dub Colossus, and two of Mali’s most talented musicians, Oumou Sangare and Rokia Traoré.
WOMAD Charlton Park is so much more than just first class world music festival and returning this year will be the popular ‘Taste the World’ tent where some of the artists will show off their cooking prowess and which, more often than not, turns into a impromptu gig. The Drum and Dance Tent will make a welcome return with early-bird yoga sessions to salsa lessons to night owl happenings. And for those who fancy a luxurious moment to themselves and a scrub up, the WOMAD spa, complete with treatments, spa pools, great showers and a cocktail bar, is the place to go.
