The Food Programme

Taste the Music and Dance


Listen Later

Dan Saladino reports from the Taste The World stage of the world music festival Womad.

In 2006 a director of the festival Annie Menter had the idea of asking musicians if they could tell food stories from their home country and cook a dish linked to their food culture.

More than a decade on it's become a format that used at Womad events all over the world, providing fascinating and delicious insights into the connections between food and music and the evolution of dishes around the world.

Find out what happens when you mix Turkish psychedelia with dumplings and what a Yoik served with Sami bread involves.

The artists and their food.

Nimba, (West Africa), Fish in peanut sauce
Rura (Scotland) Cullen Skink and Mince and Tatties.

Presented and produced by Dan Saladino.
