We will be organising this year's Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) on June 17 to 19 at Sarawak Culture Village (SCV), Santubong and it will be held in a hybrid manner. It has been two years since the festival was last held here due to the pandemic. We are indeed glad to have it this year and there will be international musicians from Canada, India, USA, Finland and Mexico who will have live performances at the festival. But festival goers can also look forward to seeing the live performances by Sarawak musical talents such as international award winning singer, Alena Murang, Kemada, Sang Rawi, At Adau, Tuku Kame, Suk Binie’, Nading Rhapsody and Mathew Ngau, our well-known sape musician.
We have decided to have this year's festival on hybrid manner to enable more people to see it online because only 5,000 tickets are on sale daily. Last year’s festival which held virtually had managed to garner 402,865 viewers from 79 countries. Thus, the overwhelming response by Netizens had led the organiser to include the hybrid concept for this year's edition because it is the best way to go to further extend festival’s visibility on the global stage. With the objective of bringing people back together and to come to Sarawak, this year’s festival is one of the first international hybrid musical events to be staged in Malaysia after the recent reopening of our borders.
