DAVID D'OR- WOMAD LONDON AND SINGAPORE
 
From international reviews:
"WOMAN, the yearly event in
London, is the biggest and most important World Music festival, and
this year celebrates its 25th anniversary. Among this year's
participants as also the founder - The legendary British musician
Peter Gabriel.
In WOMAD this year
participated also David D'Or, who enchanted the audience with a total
Hebrew performance, Jewish prayers, his own hits, and Israeli folk
songs.
David's performance on the
third day of the festival was announced by a Shofar, just at
sunrise...
...It was a surrealistic
picture to see thousands of guests deep in the rain and mud dancing
Hava Nagila and singing in Hebrew in excitement.
David and his group's
performance was a great success, Peter Gabriel watching it with great
pleasure . the BBC crew on location decided to record and send David's
participation in the festival in spite of the limited broadcasting
time, and the fact that they were mainly concentrating on the 'big
names' in the business. Andi McGregor, BBC reporter said: "David is
this year's WOMAD discovery, if you ask me.... he has an amazing
voice, and this was the greatest vocal performance, and one of the
highlights of the festival"...
