Since 1982, WOMAD -- the World of Music, Arts and Dance -- has presented exhilarating festivals in countries all over the world, consistently thrilling capacity audiences with an incredible diversity of styles that always provokes and entices. WOMAD takes us to places we don't know, reaching compass points in music that are way beyond our navigation and imagination.

What better way to enjoy the festival than to listen to the accompanying CD, Sounds of the Planet 2011.
 
Encompassing artists like Angus and Julia Stone, Nitin Sawhney, Luka Bloom, Afro Celt Sound System and Trinity Roots, this is set to be one of the compilations of the year.
