Bamboo Music Festival, Tamparuli - 28 November


Head to Tamparuli in November to witness the Bamboo Music Festival – a celebration that highlights the melodies of bamboo instruments, unique to this part of the world.

The famed Kinabalu Bamboo Orchestra will be performing songs on various bamboobased instruments, including the sompoton (a bamboo aerophone), bungkau (a harp jaw) and tagunggak (a hollow bamboo idiophone).

Don’t miss other exciting events such as the rampanau (bamboo stilt-walking) race, bamboo raft-building competition and a rampanau parade.

This is a great chance to learn more about and purchase local bamboo-based handicraft and musical instruments. It’s all happening this month at the Bamboo Music Festival in Tamparuli.

See you there!
