Portrait(s) of the week – WOMAD
The mud and cold were a not-so-welcome change from last year’s balmy temperatures, but the music was just as fabulous.
I covered WOMAD as part of the Rhythm Passport team and here’s a selection of portraits of some of the brilliant performers I was lucky enough to meet. They came from all round the world to share their rhythms, melodies and stories with the damp-yet-appreciative festival crowd.
Check out their interviews on the newly revamped Rhythm Passport website.
