Government ministers got in the groove at the launch of the Rainforest Music Festival in February

The Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) held each year in Sarawak is slated for 8 to 10 July 2011 at the Sarawak Cultural Village in Kuching. Confirmed performers are coming from France New Zealand, Iran, USA, Georgia, Eastern Europe, Canada, Finland, Senegal, Mexico, Australia, and Latvia – as well as many other countries. Organisers hope to attract at least 21,000 for the three nights of the Festival. Besides the music there will also be a wide variety of local, fusion and international food as well as stalls selling festival memorabilia – and all with a distinctly more green slant this year, say the organisers.
