WOMAD

• 

  Some great suggestions above - do you think WOMAD will pay attention to them?

  Some great artists to have back :
  Rokia Traori
  Lila Downs
  Lo Cor de la Plana
  Dengue Fever
  Wasis Diop
  Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
  The Unthanks
  Cerys Matthews (would be great on Taste the World)
  Baloji
  Creole Choir of Cuba
  Echo and the Bunnymen surely should have been there this year for the 30th anniversary ?
  Katie Brookes - deserves a proper invite next year!

  Other Ideas ( don’t think they have played WOMAD yet?)

  Wicked Knee
  The Roving Crows
  The Be Good Tanyas
  Jolie Holland
  The Proclaimers (good idea whoever though of that!)
  Fisherman’s Friends
  & Any other choral artists

  What about some new South African fusion?

  Taking their name from a Zulu slang word meaning hoodlum or shady character, the Skabengas mix African, Swing and Ska sounds.
