Rainforest World Music Festival 2008

As a participating artist at the Folk Art Forum, I was invited to the launch of Rainforest World Music Festival 2008 at Sarawak Tourism Complex (The Old Court House) on the evening of 10th July. After the launching ceremony, we were treated to a buffet dinner and to add more flavour to the party, Fadomorse from Portugal performed for all the guests.



Too bad it rained very heavily at the start of the concert and I missed the performance of the first 3 bands, I think. Due to the downpour, the field in front of the main stage became very very soggy and muddy. However, this makes it even more exciting I guess for those who were eager to party regardless of the state of the ground they're dancing on. People started to throw mud at each other and they ended up having a mud bath!! haa!

Silly mud fights aside, the music was fantastic! I trully enjoyed them all although I don't know any of the bands. Sadly, I didn't go to the second and final nites but I heard the Japanese drummer was awesome... too bad, may be I'll go to next year's again :)
