I — WOMAD …. standing for World Music at Adelaide was held from the 7-10 March at the Botanic Gardens and saw and HEARD numerous artistes from all over the world … bringing Adelaideians and Australians from all ethnicities together in a relaxed family atmosphere …. absorbing the vibes from many lands and cultures … and sometimes gyrating in cross-cultural mood. If only powerbrokers pay heed and use MUSIC as a bridge in strife-torn contexts.
