The 2013 Edition of the Penang World Music Festival
(PWMF) will be organised from March 30 to 31 and the list of bands performing at
the festival is nothing less than impressive.
The venue will once again be the Quarry Park at the
Penang Botanic Gardens. It is a tranquil and nature-inspired setting to showcase
the diverse range of musicians that will be making Penang home in the last week
of March this year.
A total of 12 bands will be featured at the
festival during the two days.
Among them are Mu from Portugal, Kimi Djabate
(Guinea- Bissau), Nasout (Iran), Alp Bora Quartet (Turkey), Saharadja
(Indonesia), Inka Marka (South America), Kalayo (Philippines) as well as
Malaysian bands.
All the bands will be performing at the concert at
night and in addition daily workshop sessions with the musicians will take place
in the afternoon prior to the concert.
This workshop allows the public and audience to
participate and learn the unique music making processes of the international
artists.
The event will be held in the open air and will
proceed regardless of any weather conditions.
