eternal light Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thank you for those links, glicine and eternal light! You're welcome, Zanadu! Has anyone posted this story from the Independent? independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/womad--a-brave-new-world-of-music That the event turned into a triumph was as much due to the fantastic diversity of this audience as to the strength of the line-up, the free entry and the cleanest toilets ever seen at a music festival. Abu Dhabi, a city of skyscrapers created in 50 years, was built by migrants and is filled with migrants. And there is not much to do there, said many of those whom I spoke to. So they came down to the beach in droves to cheer on stars from their homelands. The result was like a world cup of music, with banners, flags and cheering crowds. The Maghrebis turned out in force for Massi and Khaled, the Kurds for The Kamkars, the West Africans for Youssou N'Dour, the Westerners for Robert Plant. Each was greeted with a passion unlike anything seen at a British Womad. Plant joked that he was expecting to be booed off stage, such was the fervour building for the Egyptian star Mohamed Mounir, scheduled to follow him. It made for an intoxicating festival, despite the reliance on fruit juice rather than vodka jellies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I need to get more live performances of him with SS then It's rather amusing suddenly to hear a song that I know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I love that song! I bought the album on the basis of it, and loved the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 True true. And they did Four Sticks too, wonderful. It's funny to hear him sing Sidi Mansour. I love when he added Sidi Mansour (a great song in its original forms) to the middle of WLL. Supposedly at some show he was belly dancing while singing it I hope there will be a recording of this show at some point. Would be great to hear the whole set - some fantastic songs they did. I love Corrina, Corrina - they performed that together once before and it sounded really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
