TWENTY groups from all continents, including two from Sarawak, will be performing at the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) from July 9 to 11 this year.
Bands include Reelroad’b from Russia, Novalima (Peru), I Beddi (Italy) and Braagas (Czech), while Sarawak will be represented by Pingasan’k, a Bidayuh band from Kampung Benuk, and Bakieh, a group based at Sarawak Cultural village (SCV).
“We hope the two local Sarawakian groups will carve a name for themselves during the festival, when they will be given the chance to perform alongside world-class performers,” a Sarawak Tourism Board statement said.
