WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance), a festival of music, art and dance from all around the world, is the brainchild of the British singer Peter Gabriel and aims to bring different musical rhythms to a wider public.

This year sees a new edition, to be held in Santa Catalina Park in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with performances by more than twenty international artists. Besides the concerts, there will also be a wide variety of parallel activities, such as vocal and instrumental workshops for adults, gastronomic tasting sessions, and courses for children, along with cabaret shows, conferences and audiovisual presentations.
