Welcome to all of the 

artists and audience 

that together create 

the very special 

place that is WOMAD 

Aotearoa New Zealand. 

There are more than 

40 performing groups 

from 20 countries, 

including more than 200 

international artists 

and 179 New Zealand 

artists. Their unique 

voices and talents are 

simply extraordinary. 

Thanks to the 

amazing teams at 

WOMAD International, 

WOMADelaide, Taranaki 

Arts Festival Trust, and 

all of our supporters 

who have contributed 

to creating the 

diversity and quality 

you see and hear. 

Now let’s dance, 

sing, laugh, relax 

and celebrate the 

world that is WOMAD.

WOMAD NZ/TAFT 

KIA ORA TĀTOU, GREETINGS. 

On behalf of the WOMAD 

team I warmly welcome 

you to WOMAD 2013. A 

feast of experiences 

awaits you. 

I know that you will 

discover something 

new that will stay 

with you forever. 

WOMAD is so much more 

than a music festival - 

remember to get involved 

with the workshops, 

artists in conversations 

and the Nova Energy 

Taste the World 

programme. Visit Te 

Paepae for a rejuvenated 

programme experience. 

Enjoy the visual arts 

programme and indulge 

in food, art and craft 

from around the globe. 

And please support 

the Shell Zero Waste 

programme so that we 

maximise the amount of 

waste that is diverted 

from landfill. 

A huge thank you to 

our corporate partners, 

sponsors, funding 

bodies, volunteers, 

staff, trust board, 

suppliers and WOMAD 

enthusiasts. 

WOMAD simply would 

not happen without 

your support. Enjoy!

A WARM WELCOME TO WOMAD 

2013 FROM TSB BANK. 

We’ve been supporting 

WOMAD for a number 

of years, and we’re 

delighted to be involved 

again this year. 

WOMAD is an exhilarating 

world-class celebration 

of music, dance, 

food and film - and 

it’s become one 

of the highlights 

of New Zealand’s 

cultural calendar. 

Plus, it’s set in the 

stunning backdrop of the 

world-renowned TSB Bowl 

of Brooklands. While 

you’re there, be sure 

to take some time to 

explore the spectacular 

beauty of Pukekura Park 

- it’s right next door! 

TSB Bank has been 

serving New Zealanders 

since 1850 and 163 

years later we’re 

still 100% locally 

owned and independent, 

giving us the freedom 

to support important 

community and national 

events. Like WOMAD. 

So whether this is your 

first WOMAD experience 

or your ninth, I 

hope you enjoy it 

as much as we enjoy 

bringing it to you.

KI TE HĀKARI O TE 

WHAKATANGITANGI ME TE 

KANIKANI - WOMAD 2013! 

Welcome to WOMAD 2013 

from everyone at Shell. 

WOMAD 2013 sees 

Shell mark a 10-year 

partnership with the 

Taranaki Arts Festival 

Trust through our 

support of WOMAD. 

Like all long-term 

relationships, our 

partnership has grown 

and evolved over 

time and WOMAD NZ, I 

believe, is all the 

stronger for it. 

For Shell, it is 

important that we are 

good neighbours, and 

WOMAD is one way we 

can do that, providing 

community benefits 

through the WOMAD 

schools programme; 

significant economic 

benefits for the Taranaki 

region; showcasing 

Māori performance on 

a global stage; plus, 

like you, we all love 

attending WOMAD and 

enjoying the beautiful 

Taranaki environment. 

ENJOY YOUR WOMAD 

WEEKEND! 

Rob Jager 

Chairman 

Shell Companies 

in New Zealand 

WELCOME TO WOMAD 2013! 

Prepare to be 

entertained, excited and 

inspired by this year’s 

ensemble of local and 

international musicians, 

artists and chefs who 

share the stage and 

make WOMAD the standout 

event thousands 

of people return to 

time and time again. 

WOMAD New Zealand is 

unique in the world. 

The city, the ambiance 

of Brooklands Park’s 

environment and the 

majestic Mt Taranaki 

are part of the magic 

of this festival - and 

in turn, WOMAD enhances 

our region’s cultural 

fabric and is one of the 

reasons why Taranaki is 

truly ‘like no other’. 

While you are here 

we encourage you to 

explore the rest of New 

Plymouth - maybe a walk 

or ride along one of 

the off-road pathways 

that link to our 11km 

Coastal Walkway; visit 

our combined museum, 

library and i-SITE, 

Puke Ariki; or you can 

also explore the rest 

of Pukekura Park - of 

which Brooklands is 

just a small part! 

However you spend your 

time here, we hope you 

thoroughly enjoy it 

and leave inspired to 

return again to both 

WOMAD and Taranaki. 

Mayor Harry Duynhoven 

New Plymouth District 

NAU MAI, HAERE MAI. 

WELCOME TO WOMAD 2013 

Folks: let’s get ready 

for another sensational 

festival. The beautiful 

Brooklands and TSB Bowl 

parkland at the heart of 

Taranaki is the perfect 

setting for the music, 

food, art and craft this 

year’s WOMAD festival 

has in store for you. 

WOMAD’s ongoing success 

in New Zealand is 

testimony to both 

the commitment and 

creativity of the 

Taranaki Arts Festival 

Trust (TAFT) team, 

and to the vision and 

enthusiasm of the city 

of New Plymouth. 

Todd Energy is proud 

to be a part of this 

community and is 

pleased to be an event 

partner for the ninth 

year running. We are 

committed to helping 

make the region an even 

better place to live, 

and our partnership 

with WOMAD is a big 

part of this. 

WOMAD’s a bit like 

Taranaki, in that 

it offers something 

for everyone. 

Enjoy WOMAD and enjoy 

Taranaki. I hope 

that you all have a 

wonderful weekend.

Artists 

Abigail Washburn 

& Kai Welch (USA) 

Steeped in Chinese culture, an expert 

at clawhammer banjo, respectful of 

old-time Americana, but driven to 

make modern music - Abigail Washburn 

is a fascinating conundrum. The 

Nashville-based singer/songwriter 

marries folk with far-flung sounds 

and indie rock, creating songs that 

feel both strangely familiar and 

unlike anything you’ve ever heard. 

By arrangement with the Blue 

Mountains Folk Festival.

AHoriBuzz 

(NZ/Aotearoa) 

This new psychedelic funk and rock 

invention of Aaron Tokona hit the 

New Zealand music scene last summer 

with a bang. Joined by the soulful 

voice of LA Mitchell, keys, and a 

mean rhythm section, AHoriBuzz is 

great musical madness guaranteed. 

Sun, 7.30pm, Shell Gables Stage, 1 of 1 

The Alaev Family 

(Tajikistan/Israel) 

Eighty-year-old master drummer Allo 

Alaev drives a percussion extravaganza 

when three generations of the 

Alaev family embrace and refresh 

old Tajikistan music traditions. 

The sounds of Central Asia meet 

Jewish Buchara and world beats, 

shimmering with gypsy energy atop 

Turkish clarinet, accordion, violin, 

Armenian horn and incessant drums.

Amparo Sánchez (Spain) 

After 11 years with her influential band Amparanoia, vivacious and powerful 

singer Amparo Sánchez has embarked on a striking solo project - a new 

album. Expanding on her exuberant roots-reggae-Cuban style, she called the 

album Tucson-Habana - highly appropriate, considering the dry Americana 

influence of her collaborators Joey Burns and John Convertino of Calexico.

Aotearoa National 

Māori Choir with 

The Yoots (NZ/Aotearoa) 

The iconic National Māori Choir is 

reforming especially for WOMAD. 

Featuring 80 voices from around 

New Zealand, Māori waiata we all 

love, and accompanied by WOMAD 

2012 crowd favourites, The Yoots, 

get ready for what must surely 

be New Zealand’s biggest singalong.

Ayarkhaan (Russia) 

Ayarkhaan is preserving and 

revitalising the music of the 

Yakuts, the indigenous people of 

the Sakha Republic in Siberia. 

The three women’s ethereal vocals, 

combined with khomus (Jew’s harp, 

an instrument that legend says 

was made by the gods) create an 

amazing sound that borders on 

the realms of electronica.

Charlie O’Taney, 

The Brooklyn 

Healer (UK) 

After receiving the healing gift 

from a dying Chinese oracle, Charlie 

O’Taney has transformed himself 

from a Brooklyn Mafia hit-man into 

a mystic healer. Charlie’s fourdoor 

saloon trawls festival sites 

presenting his Medicine Man Show, 

proffering authentic and somewhat 

bizarre remedies for a world 

desperately in need of miracles.

Antibalas (USA) 

This sensational Brooklyn-based 

12-piece has mastered the insistent, 

distinctive rhythms that propel 

Afrobeat. Conceived in 1998 by 

baritone saxophonist Martín Perna as 

a cross between the New York Latin 

funk grooves of Eddie Palmieri, 

Harvey Averne and Mandrill with 

the Afrobeat jams of the late Fela 

Kuti, Antibalas gradually shifted 

towards Fela’s seminal Africa 70 

band. It qualified Antibalas as 

pioneers in the second wave of 

Afrobeat, defined by blazing horns 

and unrelenting bass and percussion. 

By arrangement with 

Billions Australia. 

Sun, 2pm, TSB Bowl Stage, 1 of 1 

Bassekou Kouyaté 

and Ngoni Ba (Mali) 

One of the true masters of the ngoni, a stringed 

instrument found throughout West Africa, Bassekou 

Kouyaté has performed with artists such as Taj Mahal 

and the late Ali Farka Touré and is now making his own 

distinct musical waves with his band Ngoni Ba. Taught 

to play ngoni by his father, Bassekou won fame as a 

backing musician for star female griot singers in the 

mid-1980s. He soon crossed paths with extraordinary 

kora player Toumani Diabate and eventually joined his 

landmark Symmetric Orchestra. Accommodating elements of 

western harmony and jazz, Bassekou added three additional 

strings to his ngoni to provide a wider melodic range.

Beyondsemble 

(NZ/Aotearoa) 

The very first WOMAD band competition 

winners, Beyondsemble have played 

well over 200 gigs since launching 

in New Zealand in 2009. The band 

has shot into the limelight on 

the local festival scene and is 

attracting attention offshore. They 

perform an eclectic and diverse mix 

of tunes and songs both original 

and sourced from around the globe, 

executed with virtuosic skill, 

innovation, creativity, infectious 

energy, a sense of adventure and 

an exuberance of spirit. Music to 

move you and make you move. 

Sun, 12pm, chimney Stage, 1 of 1 

Camerata 

Caipira (Brazil) 

Camerata Caipira reveals the 

diversity of traditional Brazilian 

music and dance in a colourful 

and energetic taste of rural 

Brazil. The group plays authentic 

rhythms from north to south of 

the country, showing the cultural 

melting pot beyond samba and bossa 

nova. Isabella Rovo sings and 

contextualises the performance 

with regional costumes and dances 

accompanied by the renowned 

guitarists Nelson Latif, Bosco 

Oliveira and Victor Batista, playing 

seven-string guitar, cavaquinho 

(cousin of the ukulele), and viola 

caipira (a ten-string guitar). 

For WOMAD they will be joined by 

New Zealand-based percussionists 

Darryn Sigley and Taciano Milfont. 

With support from Fundo de Apoio 

à Cultura - Brasília/DF and the 

Embassy of Brazil, New Zealand. 

Sat, 2pm, Dell Stage, 1 of 1 

David Kilgour and the Heavy 

Eights (NZ/Aotearoa) 

David is a guitar god for guitar atheists. Anybody 

who’s seen the man play live knows full well that the 

instrument is an extension of his body, something 

he was born to have in his hands. From his earliest 

days as a founding member of the legendary Clean, 

singer/songwriter David Kilgour has stood out on the 

New Zealand music landscape. A cult hero to many, 

his signature guitar twang and languid, carefree 

melodies are well-loved. David will be joined by 

his backing band the Heavy Eights - Taane Tokona 

on drums, Tony de Raad on guitar and keyboards, and 

Thomas Bell on bass and keyboards. And Sam Hunt will 

be dropping in for a special guest appearance. 

Sun, 3pm, Todd Brooklands Stage, 1 of 1 

Dj ClicK (France) 

Dj ClicK sets sail on an 

electro-gypsy feverish and 

futuristic odyssey from the 

fringes of Rajasthan to the tablas 

of Seville. A powerful voyage 

straight into the heart of the 

gypsy world and all the musical 

treasures to be savoured therein, 

infectiously infused with the 

fire of electro-dance artistry. 

Fri, 10.30pm, chimney Stage, 1 of 1 

The Correspondents (UK) 

The Correspondents revamp vintage sounds for 

the modern ear. DJ Chuck’s amalgamation of 

electro, drum ’n’ bass, swing and boogie 

woogie resuscitates sampled ‘30s and 

‘40s relics with squelchy synths and 

dusty drum loops. And Mr Bruce’s 

joyous dancing offsets searing 

scats describing the trials and 

errors of love, lust and loss. 



Electric Wire 

Hustle Family 

(NZ/Aotearoa) 

Modern hip hop, psychedelic 

music and soul, Electric Wire 

Hustle’s unique sound challenges 

musical boundaries and has taken 

off internationally. At WOMAD 

the band is joined on stage by 

their highly musical parents, 

Congolese master percussionist 

Sam Manzanza, Māori Jimi Hendrix 

Billy TK, and traditional 

Vietnamese vocalist Le Nuong, in 

a very special presentation.

Fly My Pretties 

(NZ/Aotearoa) 

Fly My Pretties is simply New 

Zealand’s own supergroup, featuring a 

moveable fresh feast of the country’s 

finest contemporary musicians, all 

set to a stunning visual backdrop. 

The unique phenomenon which is Fly 

My Pretties flows seamlessly through 

folk, rock, blues and funk. The 

Fly My Pretties cast for WOMAD is: 

Amiria Grenell, Anna Coddington, Eva 

Prowse, L.A. Mitchell, Lisa Tomlins, 

Ria Hall, Adi Dick, Age Pryor,

Fri, 10.30pm, TSB Bowl Stage, 1 of 1 

Goran 

Bregovic 

& His Weddings & 

Funerals Orchestra 

(Serbia) 

The celebrated composer and former 

rock star Goran Bregovic conjures 

emotive, emblematic anthems of the 

Balkans. Always surprising, with 

ambitious compositions through 

more than 30 albums over 30 years, 

he fuses European classicism and 

raucous Balkan rhythms, driven by 

electric guitar, a feisty gypsy 

brass band and an all-male choir. 

Sat, 9.15pm, TSB Bowl Stage, 1 of 1 

Hugh Masekela 

(South Africa) 

Hugo Mendez (UK) 

As a founder of London’s legendary 

Sofrito Tropical Warehouse parties, 

DJ Hugo Mendez sits at the 

forefront of Europe’s ‘tropical 

funk’ dance scene. Updating classic 

African, Caribbean and Latin 

rhythms with contemporary club 

sounds, the result is a percussive 

explosion. Think heavy Afro 

grooves, mambo, tropical disco, 

samba, calypso, funk and cumbia. 

Sat, 9.15pm, chimney Stage, 1 of 1 

A giant of the trumpet and his 

homeland’s most famous musician in 

a generation, Hugh galvanized antiapartheid 

support both domestically 

and on an international level. He 

brought the struggle of black South 

Africa into the living rooms of the 

wider world, one man and his trumpet 

playing tunes of defiance and hope. 

And while Hugh has seen better times 

dawn in South Africa, this is a man 

not at home to complacency. He might 

have been in the vanguard for half a 

century, but the anger still simmers, 

the embers are still hot. “I don’t 

think I have the power to forgive.” 


Grace Barbé 

Afro-Kreol 

(Seychelles/Australia) 

This fresh sound is what Seychelles 

singer/songwriter Grace Barbé 

calls ‘Afro-Kreol’. Pop, reggae, 

funk and Afrobeat are blended with 

Moutya and Tinge rhythms specific 

to the Seychelles. Now living in 

Western Australia, Grace sings 

in Kreol, English and French, 

retelling ancient tales to present 

her culture to the wider world. 

Fri, 6.15pm, chimney Stage 1 of 2 


Sun, 1pm, Shell Gables Stage, 2 of 2 

Jimmy Cliff (Jamaica) 

It’s a measure of the universal appeal of Jimmy 

Cliff’s music that his great hit You Can Get It If 

You Really Want has been used as campaign music 

by both the Conservative Party in the UK and 

Nicaragua’s Sandinista National Liberation Front. 

But contradiction is what Jimmy has thrived on 

throughout 50 years in reggae; this is the man who 

calmly squares the circle of playing the streetwise 

gangster in the classic film The Harder They Come and 

recording his own version of Hakuna Matata from The 

Lion King. Now in his sixties, that golden tenor 

voice has lost none of its power, as heard on his 

EP Sacred Fire, produced by Tim Armstrong, frontman 

of punk veterans Rancid. Jimmy’s always been keen 

to pass through new doors and a determination to 

contribute to a brighter tomorrow still fires him.

Jordi Savall 

(Spain) 

With thousands of concerts and more than 100 

recordings under his belt over a 30-year period, 

Jordi Savall is devoted to rediscovering 

abandoned early music treasures. The Celtic Viol 

ensemble features Savall, the master of the viola 

da gamba, Andrew Lawrence-King on Irish harp 

and psalterium, and Frank McGuire on bodhran. 

With the support of the Consulate General 

of Spain and the Departament de Cultura 

of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the 

Institut Ramon Llull and the Culture 

Programme of the European Union.

Manjiri Kelkar 

(India) 

With her melodious voice and fine 

intonation, the Hindustani classical 

vocalist Manjiri Kelkar has shot 

to fame as India’s finest young 

singer. Her graceful transitions and 

meticulous attention to the spirit 

of a raga is enhanced beautifully 

by Vishwanath Shirodkar on tabla 

and Seema Shirodkar on harmonium. 

SPIRIT OF INDIA: By arrangement 

with the Nataraj Cultural Centre 

with the support of the Indian 

Council for Cultural Relations. 

Sat, 7pm, chimney Stage, 1 of 1 

La-33 (Colombia) 

A frenetic mambo take on Henry 

Mancini’s theme from The Pink 

Panther got the world dancing 

to La-33, Colombia’s most famous 

touring salsa orchestra. This 

12-piece Bogata band is modern 

yet authentic, embracing retro 

cumbria, ska, Latin jazz and 

old-school New York boogaloo 

in a gritty, urban style. 

Presented in association 

with PuraVida Roadshow with 

support from the Embassy of 

Colombia in Australia. 


Mari Boine (Norway) 

Mari Boine has been at the top of 

her game since the ‘80s, thanks 

to her magnificent voice and knack 

for working other sounds into 

joik, the traditional music of her 

fellow native people. A force 

to be reckoned with in her quest 

against the oppression suffered 

by the Sámi, her performances 

are both intense and stirring. 

With the support of the 

Norwegian Government.

Lau (Scotland) 

Three superstar instrumentalists 

of the Scottish folk scene joined 

forces in 2004 as Lau, to try 

something fresh. Martin Green 

(accordion), Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle) 

and Kris Drever (guitar and 

voice) have built on the bedrock 

of folk tradition yet bristle 

with new vitality. Their original 

compositions mesh slow-burning 

intensity and wild abandon.

Melbourne Ska 

Orchestra 

(Australia) 

The golden period of ska music 

explodes onto the stage with 

some of Australia’s finest 

musicians. The 20+ orchestra 

is fronted by co-founder Nicky 

Bomba (Bomba, John Butler Trio), 

who revels in his professional, 

fun and impulsive conducting 

style. This is a fun-loving big 

band experience with music from 

the original ska period of 1963 

through to modern-day classics.

Mihirangi (NZ/Aotearoa) 

Off the back of her appearance on New 

Zealand’s Got Talent, Mihirangi returns 

to WOMAD - this time celebrating her 

recent new album release. Although 

reverent in her traditional deliverance, 

when her groove kicks in, Mihirangi 

is all liberation and raw power. 

Sat, 4pm, Pinetum Stage, W/S • Sun, 5pm, Shell Gables Stage, 1 of 1 

Novalima (Peru) 

Emailed song ideas exchanged between four Peruvian musicians living in 

London, Barcelona, Hong Kong and Lima became the catalyst for Novalima. 

Their polished - and sometimes controversial - fusion of traditional

Newtown Rocksteady 

(NZ/Aotearoa) 

Rocksteady’s sounds and styles are 

inspired by the late ‘60s crazes of 

rocksteady and ska dancehalls in 

Jamaica and England. The result is 

an infectious combination of mellow 

rhythms and upbeat dance tunes to get 

the whole family grooving. Newtown 

Rocksteady is a dance band that performs 

with its soul on its sleeve and simply 

makes you move. The group features key 

members of Wellington‘s eclectic, highly 

talented and vibrant music scene in an 

all brass, all bass, all party, big 

band, big dance, chant down, MASH UP. 


Salif Keita (Mali) 

He is quite simply the ‘Golden 

Voice of Africa’. Salif Keita’s 

distinctive brand of Afropop blends 

West African groove, jazz, funk 

and R&B influences. Born to royal 

Malian lineage but ostracised in his 

childhood because of his albinism, 

he was then disowned by his father 

after announcing his plans to play 

music - a role demeaning to royals 

in Mali’s caste system. His dreams, 

however, were too strong to be 

shattered. Salif’s long succession 

of hit albums places him among 

Africa’s greatest music stars.

Nidi d’Arac (Italy) 

From the Salento region in Southern Italy, Nidi 

d’Arac mash rural tradition with rock, electronica 

and beats. Singer Alessandro Coppola has led the 

band since its inception ten years ago, creating 

innovative music that embraces the traditional 

triplet rhythms of the pizzica (the local tarantella 

dance) and celebrates the Mediterranean’s rich 

folklore. At WOMAD they will be joined by special 

guest dancer Anna Cinzia Villani. The power of this 

versatile ensemble is immediate and physical in 

live performances, comparable to energetic raves 

nuzzled within the ancient score of the pizzica. 

With the support of Puglia Sounds.

sheLL nZ Zero WAste 

WOMAD is committed to ensuring the 

event is not only a spectacular 

celebration of international culture, 

sound and sight, but also becomes an 

example of environmental, sustainable 

success! Everyone involved with the 

festival (from the artists performing 

to the public attending) is being 

encouraged to share in and embrace 

the festival’s zero waste goal. 

The aim is to minimise the amount of 

waste heading to landfills. You’ll 

notice a multifaceted approach 

is used, integrating the four R’s 

of waste minimisation (reduce, 

reuse, recycle and rethink). 

IT’S EASY to be 

‘GREEN’ at WOMAD! 

There are three types of bins at 

waste stations throughout the WOMAD 

site. The bins are all colour 

coded. The waste items that go 

into each of the three different 

bin types are listed below: 

WHY‘ZERO WASTE’? 

Less rubbish means saved resources, 

and longer lasting and fewer 

landfills. Fewer landfills mean more 

space, and better air and water 

quality. Zero waste is all about 

caring for our environment now, 

so that future generations can 

also enjoy our beautiful world. 

HOW YOU CAN HELP! 

In order to achieve our waste 

minimisation target, all food and 

drink products sold throughout the 

event will be served in recyclable, 

reusable, biodegradable or compostable 

containers. Please use the bins 

correctly to ensure all materials 

are recycled or composted. 

Turning ideas into energy 

Whakanui ō mua, whakanui ā mua. Honouring our past, celebrating our future. 

Shell has invested in energy for New Zealanders for over 

100 years. Innovation drives our search for sustainable 

solutions for future generations. 

It’s the power of human energy that counts. 

Shell New Zealand 

BIODEGRADABLES 

Food waste, food 

containers and utensils, 

non-plastic hot cups 

and coffee cups. 

These are all made from 

biodegradable cardboard or 

cardboard-like materials, 

corn or potato starch. 

Why not give our 

helpers at the 

recycling stations 

a smile - they 

are volunteers who 

are committed to 

implementing WOMAD’s 

zero waste goal which 

is proudly supported 

by Shell NZ. 

Supported by 

RECYCLING 

Plastic bottles, plastic 

drinking glasses, 

hot cup lids. 

Aluminium and tin cans. 

All cardboard and 

paper must be clean 

i.e. no traces of 

food on or inside. 

RUBBISH 

Although there will 

be general rubbish 

bins on-site, please 

take home with you any 

non-recyclable materials 

which you bring in 

to the festival.

DON’T JUDGE A BOOK 

BY ITS COVER 

The Human Library contains Human 

Books (people on loan), who are 

taken out by a Reader (person 

borrowing the Book) for 30 minutes 

to explore the Book’s topic. 

The Human Library enables Human Books 

with a story to tell and their Readers 

to break stereotypes by challenging 

prejudices in a positive and often 

humorous manner. The library is 

designed to promote dialogue, reduce 

prejudices, encourage understanding 

and widen both people’s view on life, 

in a space set up for interaction 

through one-on-one conversation. 

The Human Library breaks down barriers 

so that communities can build 

tolerance and understanding of one 

another, even if they don’t agree with 

each other’s chosen way of life. 

HOW TO BORROW A 

HUMAN BOOK AT WOMAD 

You’ll find the Human Library in 

the Kunming Garden - head to the 

pagoda to check in. Review the 

Book titles on offer, chat to the 

librarians about which Book interests 

you, and make a time to borrow the 

book (for free) for 30 minutes.

Flags - Angus Watt 

The beautiful and ever-changing 

sea of flags by UK artist Angus 

Watt has become an iconic visual 

element of WOMAD sites around the 

globe. It all started when Angus 

first worked with WOMAD in 1994, 

and now hundreds of flags are 

installed at each WOMAD event.

Carmen Rogers 

Strung Out hovers somewhere between 

spatial drawing and sculptural 

installation. The work attempts to 

divide, delineate and frame space, and 

reconfigure and translate the geometry 

of outdoor landscape. Taranaki artist 

Carmen Rogers is an award-winning 

BVA (Fine Arts) graduate of WITT.

Metamorphosis I & 

II - Interactive 

Light Totems, 2013 

Ashley Turner returns to WOMAD 

2013, continuing to develop his 

interest in light sculpture. 

This time he is collaborating 

with motion graphics artist Mulk, 

product developer Doug Makinson 

and commissioned work by visual 

artists Fane Flaws. Metamorphosis I 

& II are transformative totems by 

nature as they change from day to 

night. These totems are designed to 

have a changing skin of new art for 

future festivals. Turner has been 

making art that explores the use of 

light for more than a decade; his 

light totems reference the ‘Pou’ 

and the sign-post, mixing of urban 

functionality with cultural affinities.

www.faneflaws.com 

Erica Duthie & Struan Ashby form 

a visual art team who transform 

urban spaces with temporary drawings 

created from tape. Tape Art is an 

original and playful art medium 

that relies on the simple idea that 

tape can be manipulated to form 

expressive drawing lines. Their 

works have explored many themes, but 

are always figurative, often telling 

stories with open metaphors. The 

Tape Art mural at WOMAD will unroll 

as spontaneously as the people that 

inspire it. Don’t be surprised if 

that outline looks just like you!

Miranda Brown 

Ecology to 

Cosmology - 

Miranda Brown 

The Ecology and Cosmology set of flags 

by New Zealand artist and fashion 

designer Miranda Brown was originally 

commissioned by the Wynyard Quarter 

on the Auckland waterfront. Miranda 

Brown’s vision is to create textiles 

and products of great beauty that 

reflect the utter brilliance and 

magic of nature. Inspired by the 

terrain and texture of our land and 

people, this flag design represents 

the elements at large, our multiculture 

and vibrant spirit. The 

circle motif illustrates the sea 

rising to the land, mountains giving 

way to air and the wind currents 

carrying our stories far and wide. 

The circular reference talks about 

navigation to New Zealand from 

the past to present and future. 

A timeless sense of place and 

honouring of all life. The colours 

chosen interweave between all flags 

connecting to one another in unison.

Galactic Stingrays 

Gliding in from outer space for

ProGrAmme 

In the lead-up to WOMAD, artists take 

their art, language and culture to 

communities and classrooms around 

Taranaki. Recently Bassekou Kouyaté 

and Ngoni Ba from Mali headed to 

Tikorangi School, Grace Barbé from 

Seychelles engaged with South Taranaki 

students and Jax Hamilton judged 

wannabe chefs from secondary schools 

who recreated dishes from around the 

world. During February more than 

1,000 school students took part in 

workshops where they designed WOMAD 

bunting which was distributed to 

retailers in New Plymouth, Waitara 

and Inglewood to display in shop 

windows. The Community Programme is 

made possible through partnership 

funding from Shell New Zealand, 

Todd Energy, TSB Community Trust 

and New Plymouth District Council. 

TSB Bank is proud to support WOMAD 


WAter 

Make sure you indulge in lots of 

nature’s champagne over the weekend 

and please refill your water bottles to 

help with the festival’s zero waste 

targets. It’s easy to top up - the 

site map shows where you can fill up on 

clean tap water for free. Or if you 

prefer, head to the Aqua Filter stalls 

and get your WOMAD bottles refilled 

with purified water for just $2. You’ll 

find one stall located in the Global 

Village and the other at the bottom 

of the TSB Bowl of Brooklands hill. 

Year after year, as the number of New Zealanders joining us increases, so does our 

ability to support events like WOMAD. If you’re already a customer of ours, thank you. 

If you’re not yet with us, why not join us - and discover for yourself the rewards of being

From New Zealand to Abu Dhabi, onto 

Australia and back to London. During 

the last 31 years the WOMAD mothership 

has travelled the seven seas 

and introduced the WOMAD vibe to more 

than 27 countries. We are the biggest 

festival producer on the planet 

with more than 160 international 

festivals tucked under our belt. 

But we’re not done yet! There are 

still places undiscovered and ever 

more people to meet, giving them 

the opportunity to discover the 

incredible music, arts and dance 

that enrich our wide world. 

2013 will take WOMAD to Australia, 

New Zealand, Spain, Italy, UK 

and our new adventures - Russia 

and Buckingham Palace (shhhh - top 

secret!). We can hardly wait! 

2012 found us not only celebrating 

advancing maturity at 30 years in 

the UK and coming of age at 21 in 

Cáceres, Spain but also 20 years for 

WOMADelaide too. Now we are in our 

ninth year for WOMAD New Zealand. 

The WOMAD kids are growing up! 

We, the WOMAD International team, 

would like to wish our New 

Zealand Partners the very best 

ninth festival and all the New 

Zealand festival goers an incredible 

year of gorgeous arts, musical 

discoveries and crazy dancing. You 

are in for some serious treats. 

Wishing you the very 

best of festivals.
