LONDON EVENTS
DIASPORA MUSIC VILLAGE 2008
Diaspora Music Village
Free Admission Festival Weekend - HYDE PARK
Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th July 1-9pm each day
The summer Music Village - Europe's longest-running festival of world cultures - makes an immediate return to London's Hyde Park this July after a hugely popular debut event in 2007.
Twenty groups of London-based performers are featured in two jam-packed days of top class music, dance and spoken word from all over the world.
The line-up includes African, Latin, Jewish, Asian, Kurdish, East European and Chinese performance styles, to reflect decades of converging migrations into London from every corner of the earth.
Festival Director, Prakash Daswani, sets the scene for 2008:
Programme Saturday 12th July (Programme Subject to Change - exact timings tbc)
Note: All the performers in this year's global line-up are London-based, though the origins of most lie way beyond these shores.
