The symbiotic relationship between WOMAD and Real World Records was apparent from day one.  When, in 1989, the record label was born, it immediately joined its' seven-year-old big sister in the vanguard of introducing the world's finest music to our ears. Both WOMAD and Real World are very much grown up these days - the festival has now reached the stately age of 30 and this 30-track tribute is an assembly of those Real World artists who have been most closely connected with the festival over the last three decades from the spirit-of-82 vibes of The Drummers of Burundi right to the present with contributions from Spiro and Portico Quartet. 2CD set retailing for under $25.00!
