WOMAD's 1982 inaugural festival was a watershed moment—Peter Gabriel's bold vision to bring world music to a mainstream audience for the first time. This 2022 reissue captures that historic lineup: African, Asian, and European artists performing live, some encountering Western audiences for the first time. The performances have the energy and spontaneity of a festival capturing something genuinely new. What makes this valuable isn't just nostalgia but hearing how artists from completely different traditions created something electric together. World music wasn't an established category in 1982; WOMAD helped define it. If you care about how global music reached the West, or you want to hear artists in their raw live element during a transformative moment, this documents a cultural turning point.
