A FAMILY AFFAIR
A few months ago I wrote about a feeling I called 'The Worldwide Effect'. I suggested that Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival in Sète was an experience made up of magical moments strung together by our favourite music. I recently returned to France to find that in its fifth edition, the festival has grown significantly, so much so that some old faithfuls may consider this a year of transition and change of direction. Although they will perhaps mourn the intimacy lost apropos of previous editions, it is clear on even the most superficial inspection that its valued spirit of familiarity remains untarnished. (Check out the official trailer for the forthcoming documentary on WF Sete '10 "That's Right That's Right That's Right")
This year’s edition confirmed that the Worldwide Festival is a space for friendships to be made and consolidated. As soon as I landed in Sète I was met with warm faces, both old and new, and it was not long before a spontaneous crew was assembled that would see us through the weekend.
