The Rhythms of the World Festival
24-25th July 2010
More infoRhythms of the World is a huge community celebration of both local and world culture, which takes place each year in Hitchin. Completely organised by volunteers from the community it has grown to be one of the largest celebrations of world music, dance and art in the UK.
There will be performances of a worldwide range of music and dance across six stages, a children’s area, art displays and a grass ‘Arena’ which local sporting and other community groups can use to both compete in and exhibit.
“This year’s festival will continue the tradition of bringing musical diversity from our local community as well as introducing music and artists from around the world. We have performers from America, Madagascar and Niger at this year’s festival as well as a Welsh language folk band and a choir performing “shape-note” music. Bob Mardon has left a fantastic legacy which I’m happy to embrace and move forward with.”
