I went to the Rainforest World Music Fest '08 held at the Cultural Village outside Kuching this year. I had heard all sorts of good comments and reviews of the festival and had been wanting to go for the longest time.
3 days of world music... people of all walks of life attended.. nothing but good ol music to bring people together under one banner.
I went with Mai 
and Arid ... it was a good thing too cause both had been to the festival so they kinda knew their way around and all..
During the day there were workshops. Those were quite good. Performers would come together to 'jam'.
Some just do their thing... some were better on a smaller stage in a theatre as opposed to the big open air one at night. You can then actually see what's going on!
I bunked over with Mai and Arid at the Damai Laut Resort.. gorgeous sunset...
I even got a Henna tattoo whilst there... it was REALLY nice... take a look yourself! 
me and Mai at the Iban Rumah Panjang during the acapella "jam" session... 
Hiroshi during his solo performance in the evening on the Second Stage... 
The main stage...
One of the performances on the main stage..All in all, it was a good experience. The weather unfortunately was not as good. They might need to think of doing something about it for next year. The atmosphere was so energetic and lively. If I dont already have plans next year, i would definitely want to go again and this time take an even larger posse with me!!
