About the speaker
Wobbly World
World musicians
Wobbly World is a group of internationally recognized musicians and singers from an ever-expanding list of countries: Morocco, the Netherlands, Bolivia, Lebanon, Cuba, Vietnam, Ivory Coast, Palestine, Trinidad and the U.S. Founded by guitarist Freddy Clarke, the music ethno-layers melody, poetry and meaning from disparate musical traditions. Yet despite this diversity, the music soars with a deep sense of cohesion. Wobbly World is built on the idea that the unity of music speaks to the unity of life, and that the freedom to enjoy music without borders leads us to enjoy people without borders.
