As we all probably know by now, this year is the 20th birthday celebration for Womadelaide. Even after spending the whole festival being ‘a hippy for a weekend’, Monday evening was a super treat to round it all off. Tete, the French African singer soloist, kept translating from French to English the context of each of his songs which included the mainstream along with a touch of his own with his incredibly trained voice.
Lo’jo got everyone up funking on down to their grassy vibes, with gypsy fiddle, singing and Berber desert music, as well as some African talking drums. This was a side act for those who missed them on the main stage on Saturday evening.
Pony Theatre Company were terrific as well, mixing dance with theater. These little Irish girls certainly know how to pull a crowd, with their immense personality and dance moves, convincing a few young men along the way in some sexy pink floral leotards to join them – definitely a blast.
Chapelier Fou (Mad Hatter) was for me the highlight of the evening, at the Zoo stage, creating an intimate vibe with his juicy beats and violin. Chapelier Fou was also wooing a big crowd into his world of looping effects.
Last but least for the evening Mo’Horizons kept the beats pupping well past midnight; this DJ creating a mix of old school rock and bossa nova, keeping their crowd dancing and dancing!
