rAINF FOREST WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL 2007
Hola everyone,
Inka Marka have just returned from the Sarawak Rain forest Festival in Borneo Malaysia.
This is one of the premier World Music events in ASIA and indeed the world. Set in the luscious rain forest of Santubong on the Island of Borneo Malaysia, it is a pristine and special place in the world. The festival line up was impressive by any ones standards, and included premier groups from all over the world. This was Inka Marka's third appearance at the event, having performed in 2002, and 2000 respectively. Inka Marka and Black Umofolosi from Zimbabwe are the only groups to have been invited back to this event three times. 2007 was the 10th year anniversary of this festival and also Malaysia's 50th year of Independence celebrations.The festival was held over three days, with a combination of workshops and Main stage performances. The lush Sarawak T9ourism village was the site for the event, and the unusual and exotic longhouses of the rainforest people were the host venues for many of the workshops, and impromptu music jams that seemd to be taking place all over the place. Audience participation in the workshops was a must, and foot stamping, clapping, and singing was the norm for these events.
