Weekly Report from Boulder
Well the busloads of Boulderites are generally back from Seattle and this
year's WOMADUSA. It was a fantastic weekend and may be the best WOMAD
event I have ever attended. There was an additional stage this year, the
Troubadour Stage, that had great performances from Afro-Celt Sound System,
Habib Koite, a wonderful Australian dance troupe called the Bangarra Dance
Company, and Japanese percussionist Joji Hirota playing with a symphony.
Once again, the Big Top was a great place to focus into the music and we
thoroughly enjoyed the Rizwan-Muazam Qawalli Group, nephews of the great
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. With so much going on I stayed away from the main
stage except to see Thomas Mapfumo and the finale concert. The ending jam
was great fun, especially as we were dancing with the guys from Boukman
Eksperyans until they got called to the stage. If you haven't ever been to
a WOMAD event, I highly recommend them. My commendation to Thomas Brooman
of WOMAD and the folks at One Reel for bringing the WOMAD festival to the US.
