Bob’s boy

Damian Marley to Close WOMAD Festival in Abu Dhabi…

Damian Marley hits the UAE for the first time ever to headline WOMAD 2010.

Bob Marley’s son will play to what looks to be a sell-out crowd on the corniche on April 24.

The second ever WOMAD festival also comes just a few weeks before the release of Marley’s highly anticipated collaboration album with Nas titled ‘Distant Relatives.’

Marley will perform alongside some of the biggest names in the world, including Femi Kuti, Tinariwen, Babylon Circus, and Transglobal Underground.
