WOMAD 2007
WOMAD was awesome! yet again. This year's WOMAD was a notch up from last years. Not surprising as it is Singapore's 10th Anniversary of WOMAD!!!! YEAH! and the headlining act is Asian Dub Foundation whose brand of socio-politically infused beats rocks big time.
The poseurish audience once again showed that they knew nothing of Asian Dub's musical agenda. When Asian Dub mentioned India as the next world super power, the audiences ruptured into applause to which Asian Dub replied: " That is nothing to cheer about! Just think of those who gets left behind" There was an awkward silence for like 3 seconds. So malu right?
The bass kicked in, the groove moved, the guitar riffed and the rest is history.
I thoroughly enjoyed this year's WOMAD and I got to meet many different people.
Met a really cool family who invited Serge and me to join them on their picnic mat. Dad is French, Mom is Indian and Daughter is Hot. haha. Did I mentioned free wine and beer? haha
We got to flirt a little with the Heineken Green Room chicks who gave us Heineken Green Room VIP access passes.
Saw Denise Keller and met up with Dannie Hamid aka Satan who's getting married soon.
The only downside to this year's WOMAD was the food and merchandise prices.
Everything was so expensive!!
One can of Heineken was 7 bucks up by 2 dollars from the year before.
My WOMAD shirt costs 25 bucks. 10 more than last year!!!
JIa lat man. If this carries on, I'll have to sneak into WOMAD next year. haha
Reality's a bitch and I've gotta get back to work on Monday. Bummer.
Like the Aussies say, Seeya Later... might I add. alliagator??
I'm turning in. Nitez
