Womad Day 1

Yuka Okazaki
Eased into the evening with the loop sounds of Yuka Okazaki and her her clarinet, bass clarinet, metallophone, percussion and melodica. As a former (very average) clarinet player, I was impressed.

La Perla
Needed some pep and went to see Columbian act La Perla. Brilliant. Traditional sounds, percussion, beat boxing.

Roberto Fonseca
Swayed my hips to Roberto Fonseca. Admittedly I wasn't feeling very well Friday night and would have liked to have watched and danced to more of this then I could at the time.

Jovanotti
Unexpected highlight was Jovanotti - blending Italian Rap, Disco, Reggae. Danced with my neice to this.
