Hey Everybody,
here is a selection of amazing music - fresh from this years World Music Expo WOMEX, currently held in Copenhagen.
Compassionate Yemenite Songs with a great energy that slowly builds up: Yemen Blues
Another very great act was Damily from Madagascar, whose music style is an imitation of fast-moving feet kicking up the dust.
Yom claims to be the new king of Klezmer. At least he his very good and not to much a sportive viruoso but with respect for the tradition and art of Klezmer.
Antonio Zambujo, A modernist of Fado in the sense of emotional honesty. He is emphatic to every phrase he is playing and singing and his band adds a little bit of coll jazz. Wonderful!
Not emotional at all, but a real kicker are LaBrassBanda, who had an amazig success the last two years and are now up for 6 months of break. They rocked WOMEX anyway.
As for the Opening on Wednesday I have only second hand information. Check out Be Being.
