If people call you the ‘Godfather of funk’ and your music career spans over six decades, there must be a reason. When it comes to George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic , the reasons are dozens and the saxophonist from Kannapolis demonstrated all of them yesterday night. He played on the Womad Open Air Stage supported by a bunch of stunning and outstanding musicians and proved another time to be one of the coolest artists around. His infectious, groovy and buoyant vibes got everyone dancing for more than an hour and can easily grab the title highlight of the 2016 edition of the Festival.

Anita Tijoux never disappoints. You can be sure that, once on stage, she will express all her temper, personality and feelings about the current events. Yesterday evening, she jumped on the Siam Stage and with the support of her band she recalls some of the most meaningful songs of her career like “Shock”, “Vengo” and her latest single “Calaveritas”.

Sunshine brought out the WOMAD Festival crowds for Amaraterra on Friday, all the way from Salento in the heel of Italy. Pizzica is a traditional dance from the region, and the group certainly got the crowd moving at the BBC Radio 3 Charlie Gillett stage, giving a lively demonstration with their powerful singers, tamburellos, mandola and even a percussive bottle!

Just witnessed the brilliant 30-year reunion of Songhai – kora king Toumani Diabate with flamenco guitarists Juan & Jose Carmona & Javier Colina plus a fantastic trio of supporting Malian vocalists and the tightest Spanish percussion section ever. Truly wonderful stuff! Great to revisit this classic album.

La Mambanegra got us off to a lively start introducing the crowd to their high-energy ‘break salsa’ in the Siam tent. Led by Jacobo Vélez in his slick white suit and mirror shades the energy and interaction of the group instantly got everyone dancing.

In the Siam tent yesterday French Lebanese Trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf (who has worked with the likes of Salif Keita and Amadou & Mariam) came at the crowd with his hard-hitting jazz & rock. Imbued with the flavours of his Arabic heritage there was great interaction with the crowd, ensuring a high-energy instrumental blast from start to finish.
