Rainforest World Music Festival, Music festival in Malaysia
The Rainforest World Music Festival is an annual music event in Sarawak, Malaysia, that brings together international artists performing traditional music from around the world. The venue is set within natural rainforest surroundings with multiple performance stages, workshop spaces, and areas for cultural activities.
The festival started in 1997 with the goal of promoting and celebrating ethnic music traditions from around the world. It grew from a local initiative into a recognized international event that brings attention to traditional music.
Musicians from many countries perform their traditional music styles and share knowledge with audiences. Visitors watch performers explain their instruments and cultural practices firsthand.
The event happens once a year and visitors should wear comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear since performances take place outdoors on natural terrain. Plan for changing weather and unpaved paths that connect the various areas throughout the festival grounds.
The festival offers interactive workshops where visitors can learn directly from international musicians and even try playing traditional instruments themselves. These sessions allow people to experience music in a hands-on way beyond just listening to performances.
