On Womad 2001:

Only one act stood out for the two days that i was there.
Sierra Maestra. The band from Cuba.
The rest were forgettable.

This is my first time attending a Womad festival. I must say it is enjoyable despite the warm nights, the crowd (i, being slightly claustrophobic) and bug bites. It was nice to lie on the mat staring at the sky listening and relaxing to the music. I was contented to just watch people going up front to the stage to dance. Somehow, i think it was nicer to sit back and relax than go forward and sweat it out with the crowd. I will probably consider going again next year. But this time i will bring food. It was way too expensive to buy anything there.
