WOMAD - WOMAD Live 2008 - Episode 2

Andrew McGregor introduces further coverage of the globe's leading festival of world music from the festival site at Charlton Park in Wiltshire. Among the performers are Egyptian vocalist Sheikh Taha - from the Sufi-themed Siam Tent - and Hotel Palindrone, whose pan-European folk music draws on Galician, Swedish and Balkan influences as well as the Alpine drone tradition of their native Austria. Plus highlights from sets by Cambodian-American psych band Dengue Fever and bassist Jah Wobble, who brings his Chinese Dub project to Radio 3's own stage in the Arboretum.
