| WOMAD Cáceres |
The WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance) festival emerged
as a project by the British singer Peter Gabriel to publicise musical rhythms
from different parts of the world.
Music, dancing, food, company, parties, entertainment and so
it goes on.
2012 is the 21st year of WOMAD Cáceres! - it has been held
in Cáceres Spain since 1992, and is an intercultural event to which admission is
free. In addition to musical performances by different bands and soloists,
there are other activities such as workshops, street entertainmnt, craft fairs
and the fusion of different cultures.

This is really exciting for WOMAD as Spain can boast
of few festivals who have come this far! But who can blame those festival goers
for wanting to experience the magic of WOMAD Cáceres. Music from across the
world floats out over the walls of the ancient citadel, a jigsaw of Roman,
Italian Renaissance and Gothic architecture, where the infamous stalks make
their homes.
Aside from the brilliant musical performances, what else can
you expect? An intimate market offers international culinary delights and
beautiful trinkets galore.
Adult and children's workshops are entertaining those little ones who like getting their hands dirty and the older troops who want to learn the moves and beats of the musicians.
