Womad co-founder Thomas Brooman has written his autobiography, <i>My Festival Romance</i>, published by Tangent Books. As a musical companion to the book, Thomas has put together a great selection of rare and unreleased tracks by artists from all over the world. All of them relate to the lifelong passion for music that Thomas expresses in his book. Many of these artists have played at Womad Festivals in years gone by and other tracks are simply some of his all-time favourites. "All of the artists featured are fantastic and fearless collaborators, making music that reaches across cultural divides and established genres. It has been a privilege of my life to have worked with all of them." The compilation kicks off with the fantastic groove of Algerian superstar Hamid Baroudi. Sidi is the title track to Hamid's third solo album, released in 1990. Highlights continue with Colombian Latin Grammy winner Toto la Momposina and then Groovin' by Pato Banton. Ghostland bring a brilliant track called Faith in Love featuring a guest vocal performance from Cara Dillon. David D'Or performs a Jewish liturgical song in the Hebrew language, an emotive, haunting arrangement of Lecha Dodi. followed by Pakistani Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
