Wind over WOMAD

It's another beautiful day at WOMAD and there is a refreshing breeze to help us recover from the sauna of the past few days! We're still buzzing after the dubbed-up tango and spell-binding sounds of the mighty Gotan Project, who headlined the Siam Tent last night.

In the early hours of this morning, our tent was packed full of hungry festival goers eagerly queuing up for hot paninis. Today we're looking for angry people to photograph for our 'how angry are you about poverty' competition (hard for the chilled out, grinning WOMAD people to do but they're managing it!).

Highlights of today's line up include the 15 strong rhythm force samba reggae band 'Batucada Sound Machine' - a crescendo of spicy Latin lines, hip hop and trumpets! Tonight, Ska Cubana will get the party started in true mambo style on the Open Air Stage, followed by the African legend Femi Kuti. But for now, it's time to relax on a bean bag and watch the WOMAD world go by...
