The universal language of music
Christine Manners shares her experiences of a popular musical event.
The sloes open and the rain pours down, a sure sign that we are enjoying an English summer. The ground beneath our feet is rapidly turning into a field of mud, but it doesn’t matter. I am having the time of my life, dancing and singing along to the music at the local WOMAD festival with thousands of other fans from all over the country.
The World of Music, Arts and Dance, or WOMAD, tries to give us a taste of the musical styles that are enjoyed all over the world, and it has become so successful that WOMAD festivals are now hold in several countries. The idea for the festival was
the brainchild of Peter Gabriel, A) … . His dream is to broaden our horizons, getting us away from the music we hear on the radio or TV everyday.
Gabriel says, ‘The festivals have always been wonderful and unique occasions B) … . Equally important, they have also helped audiences to understand cultures other than their own through the enjoyment of music. Music is an international language that brings people together.
World music was the motivation for these hugely important three-day carnivals and to this day remains the main attraction but there are now other delights to experience. Over the years, the festival has turned into an event for the whole family. At this particular festival. I find activities designed for children as well as workshops, multi-media exhibits and stalls selling all kinds of hand-crafted goods. The fun is not only experienced by those in front of the stage, C) … . I am lucky enough to be invited backstage, where there is a feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood among many of the artists, as well as a feeling that they are doing something to improve international understanding. The musicians have come here from all over the world, from Alaska to Zanzibar, so it is not surprising that the festivals have become known as the ‘Global Village’. Nobody is in competition to be the biggest or the best D) … . Artists share changing rooms and food, laugh, joke and swap stories about life on the road. Although people are in high spirits, the weather is a major problem for this British festival. A common sight б people wearing a plastic bag on each fool These do-it-yourself boots protect the wearer from the brown soup the field has become. Experiences like this explain why WOMAD has occasional been renamed WOMUD.
Nothing, however, can dampen the enthusiasm of the audience. Taking a look at the fans from the stage, I see a crowd that is unified despite their differences. This togetherness is reflected in the final performance of the weekend, designed as a celebration of the main idea behind the festival. The artists gather on stage to give a performance in a multitude of languages. We might not understand every word, but the feelings are unmistakably universal. It just goes to prove that music truly has the ability to break down the language barriers E) … .
The concert ends and I join the crowd as it drifts away, leaving behind the echo of the last note played F) … . The stage comes down and the tents, stalls and canteens are taken apart. The car park slowly empties as a quieter day dawns over the countryside. Another festival is over and all that remains are the fond memories. But the die-hard WOMAD fans are already looking forward to next year’s event. The real joy of having happy memories б the belief that, sometime, somewhere, you’ll get the chance to create oven happier ones.
