The daytime ‘workshops’ which is a prelude and to complement the RWMF

KUCHING 10^th June 2022 – Festival-goers to the iconic Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) 2022 will enjoy an array of exciting daytime activities around the event’s venue at Sarawak Cultural Village that will reflect on the festival’s 25-year journey.

The RWMF will bring the diverse talented musicians from different disciplines together under unifying themes to showcase, jam and create unique music in the setting of the Sarawak Cultural Village. It is through these sessions of intertwining contemporary and traditional music that the legacy of RWMF is built and preserved to keep the world music alive for years to come.

The daytime ‘workshops’, which is a prelude and to complement the night concerts at the iconic event, features fun and educational activities with various themes that encompasses the elements of dance, music, story-telling, musical instruments and even a session designed especially for the children to learn on culture and heritage.

Among the highlights of the workshops is the family-friendly Kiddies Club where young children will have the opportunity to learn and play with traditional instruments such as the sape’, the Malay kompang and many others. As RWMF celebrates its 25^th anniversary this year, this workshop is a reflection on how important it is to pass on the rich musical heritage of Sarawak to the next generation.
