WOMAD 2010




I've been to WOMAD  last week .

It is a World music Festival that is held annually . 
This year it was held as the last year in the Abudhabi Corniche . Providing a very beautiful scenery and atmosphere along with the music performance .

It Rocked ! 
 
  Beach , music , cool breeze ,  people dancing and having fun all around !

What could be better ?



Here are some of the photos i got  
( sorry for the low quality ) .
 

That is a ferry at the back .





A Rajasthani Gypsy Dancer getting ready for performing the sapera dance  .

I love her dresss and the way she dances  !

( Check the videos )



 
 

  Unfortunately i couldn't upload my personal videos , the internet kept disconnecting , and the  speed is so very slow .

They mentioned something in the news about some internet cable maintenance in the region ,

so it's likely to remain so for a few days .


Anyway the quality of the videos weren't better than the images' .
consider yourselves lucky :P

Here are few vidoes from Youtube , i couldn't find any videos for Rachid Taha or the Transglobal underground who totally rocked out  that night . 


I will update the entry once i find them .


                         
 
 


Sofi song By Faiz Ali khan
 







I am not the biggest fan of Hakim .
But seems like the night was a hit .

    

                              



I loved the Performance of the Musafir Gypsies of Rajasthan . 
Wish i could dance that way :P


                           



And Rajesthani Folk song .



                               



And ...
The Royal Drummers .
