We were there on the first and second day and flown back home on the third day. Love the workshops and the energy of some but the weather was crazily warm during daytime and raining heavily on the first night during the first set. The patch of green field right in the front of the main stage became complete mud on the second day and it felt like we people, always came along with some form of destructive nature somehow. That was the only downside that kept me from feeling totally glad about being there.
On performances, I love this iranian ensemble with a father and son duet in it - Shanbehzabehs Ensemble. Saied, the father, is a passionate man of music and dance. I had briefly watched them years back in WOMAD Singapore 2007 when the boy, Neghib, was so much younger and it's amazing watching them again - a trio this time for the festival. Also, Layatharanga(India) - Love their joyous music! So many more other musical super talents but right here, I remembered really enjoying these two sets.
