Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

The Rainforest World Music Festival is a unique festival that brings together on the same stage renowned world musicians from all continents and indigenous musicians from the interiors of Borneo.
With the rainforest at the Sarawak Cultural Village as the backdrop, you will be enveloped by the sweet sounds of nature and ethnic music from talented musicians – both dancing to the same rhythm of the forest.
Performers and fans flock from around the world and participate in musical workshops or they can just lay back and enjoy the evening concerts. The afternoons are usually scheduled with informative workshops, ethno-musical lectures, jamming sessions and mini concerts.
The festival site also sets up a variety of food and drink stalls, an arts and crafts area as well as a counter for festival memorabilia, Sarawak souvenirs and CDs by the performing artists, all this contributing to a fun filled, wholesome festival experience. World Music plus a country fair atmosphere in the midst of lush greenery!
The Rainforest World Music Festival, a not-to-be-missed occasion, guarantees a smashing time in the heart of the Borneo Jungle!
Where to go
You can head for the picturesque 17-acre Sarawak Cultural Village tucked on the foothills of Mount Santubong. It is 35km away from Kuching city, which is only 45 minutes drive. This award-winning venue showcases fascinating cultural heritage also dubbed as the "Living Museum". As the name suggests, there are people staying at the display houses leading daily routines.
Winner of the Heritage & Culture PATA Gold Award
The Rainforest World Music Festival is winner of the Heritage and Culture PATA Gold Award 2006. It is now tradition that there will be daytime workshops followed by evening outdoor shows on all three days.
The festival will have a total of 19 bands. Each of the bands will have the opportunity to play at least once on main stage, while most will be taking part in the various workshops, some of which would be interactive ones.

I've been to the Cultrual village myself and the cultural show is really nice to watch, especially you can see the Iban warrior who could use his teeth to lift up a 10kg (I think at least) wood log. This shows that every joint in their body is really strong.
You should go there some day, there's a lot of things to learn.

It is good to try out again, but I am just worried that the tickets are all sold out.
But Kuching is a cute and small city that you can just go and relax, not much to see but a lot simpler life there. If you get to go, check out the sandy beach which looks like pepper powder. Very unique.
Hi Ash,
It's really beautiful, the Cultural Village, and you get to have a lot of fun seeing their show. I get to dance on stage with the rest of the performers when I was there, full of fun.
I tried to post the image but I suppose there is against the rulling? Hm.. I shall try to post a linke here instead.
