Nicholas Violo You can’t beat this. You want culture, class and education into world music and how beautifully and melodically crafted the WOMAD festival actually was I believe this is as good as it gets. I absolutely love the collection of artists and more importantly the message of the music and what it stood for in glorious 1982. 👊 Favorite track: Peter Gabriel with Ekome - Biko (live at WOMAD 1982).

Carsten Pieper I like to thin of this as a kind of kick-off meeting for world music enthusiasts in Europe. The music has been in the world before, of course, but this event really started a bigger public interest in music from other corners of our planet other than "Western" countries.

Until this album has been released, I had no idea, that one of my musical heroes, Peter Hammill, also participated in the event. Nice surprise ;-) Favorite track: Peter Hammill - A Ritual Mask (live at WOMAD 1982).
