This year’s festival is set to take place from 23 June to 25 June 2023 and boasts a diverse range of musical performances, each with their unique sound and style. Not only will festival-goers get to enjoy the night-time music but they will also be able to mingle and interact with a stellar list of performers including Grammy Awards winner ‘Gipysy Kings’ featuring Tonino Baliardo from France, ‘Big Mountain’ from Jamaica/USA and Sarawak’s own Zee Avi, among others.
Festival-goers can also take part in the different workshops and activities scheduled. These workshops provide an immersive experience for festival-goers, allowing them to learn more about traditional arts and crafts, dance, and music from various cultures around Sarawak. Participants who are keen to expand their knowledge of musical instruments can, meanwhile, participate in the music and instrument workshops.
In addition to the workshops, the RMWF also offers a literal taste of Sarawak. Participants can indulge in a gastronomic adventure and savour a variety of delectable traditional dishes from various Sarawakian cultures. Sarawak is home to 31 different ethnicities – each with their own different cultures, music and food – so festival-goers will be spoilt for choice when it comes to satisfying their culinary desires.
