African Stars Shine in Australia

In the true spirit of world music, prominent African musicians are making their presence felt in Australia.

This year’s WOMADELAIDE music festival has attracted top name African performers such as Miriam Makeba, Orchestra Baobab, Ba Cissoko, Kanda Bongo Man, Coco Mbassi, Lura, and The Golden Pride Children’s Choir.

Thus, as far as the world music festival is concerned, the Africans have come to play! And the Jamaican reggae founding father, Jimmy Cliff, will be one of the main items on the program.

In the world of song and dance, this is a weekend like no other as 430 celebrated artists from 27 countries converge on Adelaide’s Botanic Park in South Australia to celebrate cultural diversity.
