no time to write a proper introduction for this, but just to explain: the show is built around extracts from two showcase performances at WOMEX Copenhagen last month, with all the other tracks being by people I interviewed during previous WOMEX events. WOMEX is an annual world music trade fair with a very confusing name - I never did understand why they chose something so similar to WOMAD.
