What can you expect at the Rainforest World Music Festival 2012?
Apart from the music, there will also
be a smorgasbord of delectable delights at the Food and Village Mart set
against the talismanic Orang Ulu and Iban longhouses, which encircle the venue
for the whole duration of the festival. Take
back with you a variety of arts and craft, event memorabilia as well as CDs and
recordings of the performing artistes.
Music is not all about sound; it is an art-form, and with it comes
culture, diversity, creativity, talent, and spellbinding performances. As one foreign
journalist puts it, the festival is “one of the most extraordinary festivals I
have attended in terms of the camaraderie amongst the performers, the lakeside
setting under Mount Santubong and the warm welcome of the hosts.”
The Rainforest World Music Festival is
a not-to-be-missed occasion in the heart of the Borneo Jungle. This is where
people regardless of their ethnicity, cultural backgrounds and music interests
come together for three magical days for a fun filled, wholesome festival
experience with a country fair atmosphere amidst lush greenery.
Come experience
a truly memorable musical extravaganza amidst the lush green paradise that is
the mythical land of Sarawak. We bid
you, "Selamat Datai"!
