RainForest Preview {tHe Spring}
Yesterday (9th July), there was a sneak preview of RainForest in two places, tHe Spring and Boulevard. I went to tHe Spring instead. The event started at 7pm until 9pm.
The Rainforest World Music Festival is an annual 3-day music festival celebrating the diversity of “world music” formerly known as ethnic music held in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, that consists of cultural and musical workshop-oriented daytime events and the more concert-like music performances during the night. - wiki
I only managed to catch the Indian performers (Oikyataan). Honestly, this is not my cup of tea. I was at there around 7pm but the event had not yet started. It was not so crowded in that time. Sadly I didn’t manage to catch sweet girls Kan’id performs. The girls are just great.
In fact, I planned to go to RainForest, but it turned out that my friends not so willing to go. Maybe next year. This year (2008) performers are Ross Daly Quartet (Greece), Kasai Masai (Congo/UK), Hiroshi Motofuji (Japan), Oikyataan (India), Cholo Valderamma (Colombia), New Rope String Band (UK), Yakande (Gambia/Guinea), Pinikpikan (Philipppines), Adel Salameh (Palestine), Fadomorse (Portugal), Beltaine (Poland), Sheldon Blackman & The Love Circle (Trinidad & Tobago), Orchestra Anak Jati Bisaya (Sarawak, Malaysia), Sarawak Cultural Village (SeniDa), Kan’id (Sarawak), AKASHA (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) and TUKU KAME (Sarawak). A total of 16 confirmed performers will be in Rainforest World Music Festival on July 11 to 13.
