Now entering its 20th year,
the Rainforest World Music Festival encourages the appreciation and
preservation of ethnic art and music from around the world, with some artists
bringing modern interpretations of their traditional arts while others express
their perennial music, echoing with untouched sounds from centuries past.
The
festival has interactive afternoon workshops where the audience has the
opportunity to learn and play the indigenous musical instruments and understand
the heritage connected to them, while later witnessing the full potential of
the instruments in the hands of a master during the night performance.
In
support of all cultural arts, including traditional cuisine, craftsmanship,
games and tattooing, festival-goers are able to taste a variety of local
delicacies, buy local handicrafts, play traditional games or even watch a
traditional hand-tap tattoo at the tattoo expo.
The festival has been awarded
the “Songlines’ top 25 Best International Festival” for six years in a row
since 2010, and is one of a kind in the region with more exciting new ideas
around the corner for the 20th edition in 2017.
