World Music
Narrator:
Hundreds of people from around the world are arriving in the English countryside. They are coming for a music festival called WOMAD. WOMAD means, “world of music, arts, and dance.” The artists come to WOMAD to perform traditional music and dance from their cultures in a celebration of world music. One fan of world music is singer and songwriter Peter Gabriel. He co-founded WOMAD in 1982.
Peter Gabriel:
I had a very personal, practical attraction to what is now "world music". And I would hear all these fantastic things from all over the world… and there were these really stunning voices doing much better than I ever could have. So that was really inspiring for me. What I love to see when I go to WOMAD now is so many people being open-minded… and listening to music from all over the
world.
Narrator:
Spaccanapoli, an eight-piece band, is coming from Naples, Italy, to perform at WOMAD. The head of the group, Marcello Collasurdo, sings and plays the tambourine.
Marcello Collasurdo: Spaccanapoli! Ciao!
Narrator:
He is getting the group ready for its first performance at WOMAD.
Marcello Collasurdo:
[words translated] My name is Marcello Collasurdo, and I am from NaplesMy father taught me to love the tambourine when I was just a young boy.
Narrator:
The band’s music is a combination of folk rock and the music from two traditional Italian dances... the tarantella and tamurriata.
Marcello Collasurdo:
[words translated] Tamurriata music is like rap. It's a mountain rap, a country rap-it's part of our culture.
Narrator:
Marcello gets the inspiration for his music from the streets of Naples, where he lives. People here often sing in the street. It can happen at any time and in any place. For Marcello, everyone on the street is a neighbour, and every street is a stage in his neighbourhood in Naples.
[Singing of Marcello Collasurdo and fellow musicians]
Marcello Collasurdo: OK, grazie.
