“This is the oldest track of the project. It probably started in the late 80s or early 90s when I was in Senegal. I loved the tension created by the use of polyrhythms, particularly the threes and fours, so that was the start of this song."

One of the most extraordinary people I have ever met - so full of life, enthusiasm, good humour and passion for the conservation work she championed and absolutely determined to protect the planet and all of its species.

Because WOMAD was unique in its focus on music and art from around the world, and mixing it with up with rock and jazz, no-one knew how many people might turn up... but those that had decided to check out WOMAD and its weird and wonderful lineup were open-minded, bold and curious - a great audience.
