A big Ethiopian star will be among the artists headlining the 2010 world music event in Adelaide.
Womadelaide director Ian Scobie says the music and dance festival in Botanic Park in early March will feature more than 500 performers from 27 countries.
"One highlight ... is Ethiopiques and we are thrilled to bring part of this remarkable Ethiopian musical ensemble to Australia," he said.
"[It will be] featuring one of the biggest stars of Ethiopia's golden age, Mahmoud Ahmed, and a 10-piece band."
Ethiopiques joins Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, Eliades Ochoa, Xavier Rudd and Tim Finn on the program.
"Each year we take pride in introducing Australian audiences to new experiences by assembling an original line-up ... and 2010 will be no different," Mr Scobie said.
Womadelaide is on from March 5-8 and ticket information is available on its website.
