Womad – Hugh Masakela
Masekela has a clear message. He wants happiness. And his music sends it out in great waves. The South African sound bellows into the crowds with soul and love. An infectious tribal dance spreads...
Womad – Tim Rogers & The Bamboos
Question: What do you get when you combine You Am I’s Tim Rogers with funk-soul maestros The Bamboos? Answer: A manically dancing crowd of ecstatic Womadelaidians. Tim and co put on a brilliant show...
Womad – The Bird
Billed as “organic electronica”, The Bird used drums and keyboard to create everything from dubstep to commodore 64 soundscapes. Simon Durrington was excellent on the keyboard, but it was drummer Ben Walsh who really...

This sort of show can easily go bad in the hands of an enthusiast who can’t tell the difference between mundane trivia and the shocking, weird, stupefying and libellous.
Review – Where? Why? Where? and Earth: May Contain Traces of Human
A comedy show at RiAus, the Science Exchange, sounds like a recipe for sharp, topical humour on stuff like homeopathy, climate change and evolution. But we only got a little of that with these two shows, Where? Why? Where? and Earth: May Contain Traces of Human

They certainly celebrate god a little differently in South Africa. With rapturous flailing limbs, outrageously technicolour outfits and joyous musical outpourings, the Soweto Gospel Choir are quite an experience. Under the direction of Beverly...
WOMAD – Golonka
Adelaide-based Golonka are no ordinary gypsy folk band (if there is such a thing), mixing up traditional pieces with the more unorthodox (gypsy-ska-reggae anyone?)
