it's here!

I'm back in Kuching, and I was greeted with this banner when I touched down on KIA.




Ladies and gentlemen, it's here.

July is here.

And, we're certainly thinking of Rainforest World Music Festival, held in Sarawak Cultural Village, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

Rainforest World Music Festival is a three-day-world class event. On the day time, you have music workshop conducted, and when night falls, you will have concert performances.

I have never been to any of the past editions, but words I have heard from, are mostly praises and positive feedback.

I can't wait to shoot the event. If only I can get a 'Media Access Pass', or pass with similar credentials then I can roam freely and shoot better photos. :) I wish.

Be sure to mark your calendar and NOT miss this event!

power station 动力火车 concert @ travilion mall, kuching

Those who has been around Travilion Mall area these few days, you cannot miss the huge stage they were putting up there.



Those were the preparation for the BIG thing tonight - Power Station (动力火车) concert.



Power Station is a band of two from Taiwan. They are known for their powerful vocal, and their music genre is mostly rock. They haven't released new album for quite few years now. It is said they had been occupied with church activities.

The last time they were here in Kuching, I was there too. I was still in 'school' that time. Pretty young. I can't remember which year. It was held in Civic center.

I'm glad to know about this event this time round. Excited!

This concert will also feature other artistes like Anthony, as well as some local bands (i assume). I do not have much info on this concert.

Here are some of the shots I took last night, and the organizers are tuning up for the event today.



The main stage.


The control tower.


The lightings.


The stage. Shot this on tripod on long exposure. However, the vibration from the sound wave was too much for my tripod, thus, the blurred image.









The stage rehearsal, and tune up.

Anyway, I will be there tonight to shoot the stage event. If you do see me there, do say hi.

Cheers!


And I just thought this thing (placed under the stage) looks so-cool.

One month.

One month is all it takes before Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) starts. This event has been around for the past 9 years, since 1997. The 2007 edition will mark RWMF’s 10 years anniversary.

Even though RWMF has been around for the past decade, I haven’t been to any of the editions before, as I haven't been around Kuching since year 2000.

I am making sure that I will be going to this one this time round, probably going for both Saturday and Sunday. Anyone going?

Tickets are available at Sarawak Tourism Board, or you can purchase it online. For more information, please visit the official site.
