Reggae artist Protoje who graced The Bowl stage at WOMAD Aotearoa this year, speaks to Kadambari Raghukumar in this episode on all things from patties to performances. The world's awash with so many mixed messages about Jamaica but what makes the intrigue endure is this incessant stream of positivity, upfulness and the calibre of music that the country puts out.One of Jamaica's reigning reggae icons Protoje performed at The Bowl stage at this year's WOMAD Aotearoa and Kadambari Raghukumar got to chat with him, pre-show. The conversation goes from chatting about his parents, politics, patties of course, to the idea of why most people nowadays may associate Jamaican music just dancehall. "People here today they're gonna see me a reggae music artist from Jamaica, their perception of what Jamaican music is going to be also that and other stuff. I think it's just visibility. It's about doing the work, being on the ground, playing the shows, being active and spreading that energy globally. it's action, you know? I can do it by going out there and playing music and letting people see the type of songs we have to offer, which we do on a global scale."Protoje along with other artists like Kabaka Pyramid, Lila Ike are all part of a group of artists emerging out of Jamaica responsible for spearheading what's been a roots reggae revival of sorts, focussed on conscious music. "I think we all have some message and if we listen to each other, I'm sure we can decipher the message that all of us have. I just feel that I've been fortunate to have a platform and to share the thoughts that come up in my head on lonely nights and people get to hear it."Born Oje Ken Ollivierre and raised in St Elizabath, Jamaica, both of Protoje's parents were reggae and calypso singers - Lorna Bennett and Mike Ollivierre - but there's no sense of pressure when it comes to him carrying forward a legacy he said. "I don't look at it like that. It's all a good cycle. I'm My parents live within me, I just do the music that I do. I'm privileged to work with my mum. She's my manager. So she gets a second time to live through music and she's excited."Protoje's even keel attitude is hard to ignore, unaffected and unperturbed by the high energies of a festival like WOMAD. "It's life sometimes. Your emotions up and down. For me, especially if I have a show. I'm chill, I'm easy. I save my energy for stage because it's real energy. You're giving your energy to people. So I try to just keep it balanced, as low key as possible."Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

I had the best day yesterday at WOMAD with a wonderful bunch of friends. Khruangbin were incredible, I was soaring through the trees for the entire 90 minutes that they played. And I'm still having the best time at the Adelaide Fringe in what has turned from a two-week, eight-show run, into a month-long season of 17 performances.   I feel like I'm getting better at choosing not to engage with things and people that don't make me feel good. There's so much of that out there, especially if you spend even a bit of time on the internet. Comment sections are full of angry, hurt people taking their feelings out on the world. It's their choice to do that, and we really can't do anything to stop them, but we all have the power to choose how we react to that stuff, and I choose to disengage.   Today I tried to wash my Mum's partner's car at the car wash and after downloading their stupid app, giving them my details, confirming my phone number, and then paying for a $12 wash with my card, they told me that the machine was broken and I couldn't use the thing I'd just paid for. It's in infuriating situations like that when the use of those reserves of energy is warranted - I sent them an email, and you better believe I will be calling them tomorrow, and reporting them to consumer affairs if I don't get my money back and some vouchers on top of it. 'Happy Wash' indeed.   And this is my point man!! If I was letting myself get angry at every lunatic I saw on the internet, maybe I wouldn't have enough left of myself to pursue these motherfuckers when I actually need to. And yes I DO need to, by the way. Oh I will have my twelve dollars. And then I'll go back to enjoying good times with wonderful friends, which is where the energy comes from in the first place.

Far too few people in this life have even one teacher who has inspired them. I have been lucky enough to have a few in my time, and this man was the first. Stephen Pritchard read English at Oxford and studied William Blake's visionary work for his PhD, before working as a music journalist. Upon interviewing the great Peter Gabriel, they both subsequently went on to become to parts of the founding members of World of Music, Arts & Dance (WOMAD).The next thirty-plus years were spent as an educator, which is where I was lucky enough to come into contact with Stephen and his work. He is secretary of the Blake Society, a committee member of the Jung Lectures, Bristol, as well as director and writer of Blake inspired one-man show 'Albion, Awake!'

Ahora sí: Julio Correal. Increíble que en 10 años de hacer podcast el "baby" no haya estado aún en ninguno de los episodios, pero por fin lo está. A Julio me une una profunda amistad de música; lo conocí cuando los Aterciopelados estaban lanzando 'Caribe Atómico' en 1998 y yo estaba recién llegado a Bogotá. Luego de eso la vida en la música de él y en la radio mía han conectado una y otra vez y eso ha traido consigo los retos y las cosas buenas de tener amigos en el entretenimiento. Esta charla tiene todo lo bueno que trae una conversación con Julio Correal: anécdotas, risas y opiniones de todo tipo. Una de ellas, sobre el reggaetón; otra sobre Ca7riel y Paco Amoroso, el dúo de moda; otra sobre su proyecto más anhelado en la actualidad: hacer el festival WOMAD en Colombia.

English/Kiwi rock band The Veils were announced this week in the first line-up of acts to headline next year's WOMAD festival. The enigmatic indie band have a reputation for their intense live performances, and they'll be teaming up with a few classical musicians for their performance at the festival. Frontman Finn Andrews told Jack Tame that it'll be a “pretty raucous affair”. He said that working with classical musicians gives them the option to lean into the extremes. “It kinda just intensifies that even more. I think it's gonna be really full on and really quiet and intimate as well.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grandma Nam reached out to caress Lee Ui-seon's (pseudonym) face that she could make out in the moonlight. There was something in the look Ui-seon was giving her as she loomed over the bed: murderous intent. The long knife reflected the moonlight as she swung it down onto her grandmother's neck with all of the hatred she had in her heart for mankind. Had the feminist group WOMAD radicalized her into a killer? Or was there something more sinister in her heart? Join the KTC's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ today!

LIVE from WOMAD - Dale really enjoyed the audience questions on this live session which was off the charts, just brilliant.  Great questions, great discussion, wide ranging, free ranging really - and great fun.  Made the day.

Recorded LIVE at WOMAD. We cover the origin of 'Just Stop the Tories,' the significance of the recent Labour election victory, and their rapid policy changes. We also delve into Labour's green credentials, the Green Party's views and the economic benefits of renewable energy... Additionally, we discuss personal anecdotes with Tory MPs, public misconceptions about green energy, and the evolving role of direct action and protest.

Some cracking tracks this week and look at World Music in 1984! Dedicated to the Womad team! Playlist OOTW 740

The Tories have been stopped, Labour wastes no time, and we look at a bit of green-on-green action. Dale's feeling the pressure for a new name, NIMBYs in the firing line, and another eco-activist in the dock as we ask - why are the good guys getting banged up? Another temperature record, windmills with no gears, what has Ian learned in 5 years of doing this… and other fab listener questions. Our last episode of the season ends on a high as we look ahead to a live show at WOMAD and the Vegan Camp Out.

Crawling out of our post-Glasto, post-election black hole – we're back, and the Tories have been stopped by a massive Labour win. We talk about lifting the onshore wind farm ban, banning bee-killing pesticides, and halting new oil and gas licenses, plus Moggy is out... The Tory party leader merry-go-round continues unabashed, and we need a new season title – coz the Tories have been stopped (worth saying twice). Also, we got Grid Faeries powering the Arcadia field at Glasto, and their next gig is Womad, where we'll record the final episode of this series – live onstage...:)

This week kicks off with our fave - the right wingnuts… There's a legal update and we talk about Rees-Mogg, the posh man's Julia Hartley-Brewer, and his claims so wildly untrue they're almost laughable - we fact check him, hard (and yes, it riles Dale up...). The Welsh Government plans to clamp down on exactly this kind of thing - making it illegal for politicians to lie. Big Oil's lies are the stuff of legend, a new expose confirms. Meanwhile, climate change is not the end of the world, says Cambridge Prof, which Dale agrees… We also talk planes powered by sewage, and field some fab questions, not least about the Massive Attack gig, WOMAD, and the ‘Grid Faeries'.

Hello Groovers, Last weekend I went to the Womad festival in Adelaide. A festival should always be bigger than the sum of its parts, and I was struck by the myriad ways and moments in which different acts spoke to one another, tracing a lineage of genres and their influence – from pioneers of Afrobeat, Ethio-jazz, Tropicália and Zamrock to younger generations of artists, and across multitude permutations of soul, funk, R&B and rock.

In Adelaide, thousands of people attended international music and arts festival WOMAD over the weekend. Among this year's attractions, the Ukrainian community created a café to share music, culture and food… and raise money for the Ukraine Crisis Appeal. It's also the culmination of an art therapy project for Ukrainians displaced by the war who have painted the cafe chairs with symbols of hope. - В Аделаиде в минувшие выходные тысячи людей посетили международный фестиваль музыки и искусства WOMAD. Украинская община представила кафе, где делились музыкой, культурой и едой… и собирали деньги для Ukraine Crisis Appeal. Кроме того, была организована арт-терапия для украинцев, переехавших из-за войны, которые расписали стулья кафе символами надежды.

A month out from Womad 24 we look at the bill of fare, especially the folk music featured in this 21st WOMAD NZ

Four excellent Irish musicians are bringing their folk group, Lankum, to WOMAD in ‘24.

In this episode we welcome the delightful Daryl Easlea to Hammersmith for a pre-Xmas special on Slade and the sadly-departed Shane MacGowan. Daryl talks about his Essex childhood: the psychogeography of Canvey Island; his memories of seeing Dr. Feelgood at Southend's legendary Kursaal Ballroom; and how working at Our Price Records led to an eclectic taste palette that stretched from prog-rock to Chic, the subject of his first book in 2004. We jump to Slade, the subject of his latest book, and discuss the legacy of glam-rock's Brummie bovver boys — culminating in the story behind their ageless 1973 hit 'Merry Xmas Everybody'. From there we sidestep into the parallel '70s stream of prog and public schoolboys Genesis. Clips from Adam Sweeting's 1992 audio interview with that band's former foxhead-sporting frontman Peter Gabriel give us an opportunity to evaluate the achievements of the maverick solo artist and WOMAD founder. News of Shane MacGowan's death at 65 came in as we were preparing to record this episode. With Daryl's help we do our best to pay tribute to the tragically self-destructive Pogues frontman before Mark recaps on new library pieces about Elton John (1974) and Eternal (1995). Finally, Jasper wraps up with remarks about a 2002 London show by Jack Black's Tenacious D...  Many thanks to special guest Daryl Easlea. Whatever Happened to Slade? When the Whole World Went Crazee is published by Omnibus and available now.. Pieces discussed: Dr Feelgood, Chic, Mike Rutherford, Whatever Happened to Slade?, Skinhead Slade, Lester Bangs on Slade, Christmas songs, Peter Gabriel audio, Shane MacGowan audio, The Pogues, One More for the Road with Shane MacGowan, Elton John, Eternal and Tenacious D live in London.

Channelling Jagger, blending late 60s psychedelic rock, and reflecting the post-colonial world of Zambia, WITCH blazed a trail across the former British colony fuelled by cash-rich punters and strong governmental support for their output. By the 80s it had all but burnt out. But WITCH [‘We Intend To Cause Havoc'] have endured, largely due to the 2010s re-release of their fiery Zamrock masterworks by Now Again. A world tour, and a brilliant documentary WITCH: We Intend To Cause Havoc emerged, and now thanks to Banished Music and Strange News Touring WITCH are touring Aotearoa New Zealand with gigs at WOMAD then Auckland and Wellington! In this special one-off Planet Waves, Phil Grey selects tracks from their 1972-76 heyday, plus selections from this year's brilliant comeback LP Zango. Planet Waves is part of the Free FM freefm.org.nz Friday MUSIC ZONE, we dig deep into Zamrock,AfroBeat, AfroFuzz, AfroRock and more.
