penang world MUSIC festival

World Music Festival 2008 Penang will be held in 2-4 of May. This event didn't do much publicity and I only got to know will when Christy asked me if I was interested in participating! Got me so excited as I've actually had my whole month of April all planned out. Going Redang with classmates, Penang with Silvia, back to Sabah for a week. Phew! Now it'll be crammed with practices in between. :)

There will be 11 international and 4 local bands performing very prominent ethnic undertones and identities with traditional instruments being the focal point. These international bands performing over the three days, hail from France, Reunion Island, Mexico, Iran, India, Denmark, Kenya, Tibet, Canada, USA and Croatia. Local bands come from Terrenganu, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Sabah!

I'll be performing with the Diplomats of Drum from Malaysia. Expecting a wonderful experience there! :D
