I was amazed with this festival where I saw Sylverio Pessoa. It’s located on a clearing on the mountainside right on the South China Sea. The mountain behind and all around is rainforest, and there is a lagoon and longhouses of all the different local styles there where the bands hold music and dance workshops. The bring in groups from all over the world…only a few that I’d heard of before like Tarika (from Madagascar), Shooglenifty (from Scotland) or Nahawa Doumbia (Mali). This is their 10th Anniversary and their bringing back a lot of the “big” groups from prior years. Usually they get all new acts so the festival is fresh every year…but the bands always want to come back to the place because its just magic.

Sometimes there are flying lemurs (sort of a giant flying squirrel) or fruit bats that glide around over the audience! Or monkeys that come down and watch in the trees at all the crazy dancing people (rather than run away). Weird and amazing stuff!

Normally reserved Malay Muslims getting into it with punkish Chinese Singaporean kids, Indian and Sri lankans, orang asli (local indigenous peoples of Borneo) who really know how to party and dance, as well as a few hundred Western ex pats and tourists like myself! Great fun! Some people stay all night with someone DJ’ing well into the early morning, and just crawl off to sleep in one of the longhouses.

I’m going back this year for my 5th festival! Love it! And Sarawak is a pretty cool place at other times, too!

This sounds like a hell of a good time to me. If only I could get to it but alas, finances and an inability to fly commercial airlines prevents me. Does that site have a webcam feed from it?

I wish! They do have a video that was produced, but it only gives snippets of the music. It’s mainly something to promote attendance at the festival. I’m going to see if they can podcast it this year, maybe linking it up through an alternative stations website. But they didn’t even have internet connections out there until recently. But things move fast in Sarawak so who knows. I’ll post something if they can podcast it!

music is open and free

Not to the musician who creates it and needs to pay rent and eat it’s not. If your employer decided your labor wasn’t worth paying you for anymore but still expected you to work for free would you go to your job anymore? Music must be paid for, anything less is stealing. Stop starving the musicians.

I didn’t pay for this.

I am going to “flip-flop.”

Our issue is really about “framing”.

My definition of “music” is different than yours.

My definition of “music” is something that you share or produce. “music” is a cultural phenomena than you may or may-not control.

By my definition “music” is a spiritual thing: a living thing..

In this site, http://www.rockshowbrasil.com/ have a lot of news about national bands.
Then, I’ll also post some videos of my band on YouTube, and I’ll post here for you to watch and to say if you’ll like! ^^

but needs longer tracks :)

Yeah, he doesn’t want people to download his stuff, though. For him it’s a big problem. So he just offers snippets.
