What are YOU up to March 2013 in Adelaide.
The full lineup is now out- Check it out -CLICK here. it’s pretty awesome.
Returning to Womad is Jimmy Cliff. It was quite a few years back since I last saw Jimmy cliff at Womadelaide where he played the final night audience with the rain hammering down on the crowd and then the rain cleared.
Hugh Masekela is a Big name musician who as far as I know hasn’t played a Womad before but he has graced the stage with the like of Paul Simon
A few fun local bands are also in the mix. The Cat Empire return yet again to the Womad stage with their infectious dance tracks. A pleasant addition and one that I’ve been saying for a few years would suit the Womad crowd is The Herd, one of my favourite bands/conglomerations to come out of AUS in the last 3 years. A great example of Aussie Hip hop with lyrics that mean something.
Like any Womad years there are a lot of Acts I still need to read up on and listen to samples of their work, but hopefully I’ve wet your appetite to take a look at who’s playing and then write the dates in your calendar
