Penang is once again making
preparations to host its “World Music Festival 2008” and this
time it will be held from 2nd May till 4th May at the
Botanic Gardens. The atmosphere of these beautifully landscaped Gardens will again be filled with enchanting melodies originating from various parts of the world when world-renowned musicians converge in harmonic fusion at this spectacular music festival held for the second time here. This time it is expected to attract a bigger crowd as traditional music enthusiasts – international, regional and local – throng the Botanic Gardens to enjoy enthralling shows from different performing bands from cultural or community-inspired roots. The music festival was successfully held in July last year and attracted over 5,000 fans. The 11 international and 4 local bands, while worlds apart in many ways all remain true to their roots when performing. Prominent ethnic undertones and unique musical thumbprints are enhanced where traditional instruments become focal points. The international bands hail from France, Reunion Island, Mexico, Iran, India, Denmark, Kenya, Tibet, Canada, USA and Croatia.
The “World Music Festival 2008 – Penang”, one of the events under
the Visit Malaysia Year banner, is jointly organised by the Ministry
of Tourism, Malaysia and the Penang Tourism Action Council. This
festival is supported by The E&O Group as its Platinum Sponsor as
well as MBF Cards (M’sia) Sdn Bhd as its Official Credit Card
Partner. or visit www.penangworldmusicfestival.com
