the world music festival RAWKS!!!!

it was held outdoors near Penang Botanical Garden. nothing as insignificant as the fact that we're nearly drenched to our undies by the rain can hinder our enthusiasm. the crowd was awesome too though i can't help but wish those kiasus would have stayed home rather than blocking our view with their enormous umbrellas. i also wished i own a digicam so i can capture some "interesting" moments. ngehngehngeh.... but i did caught on record kryptic's voice mengumpat pirate (sorry babe, i "ter"already let him hear it in lab...ooops...)

there were performances from sarawak, kelantan wayang kulit, panpipes from solomon island, weird music from mongolian/russian border, country music from usa, acapella from italy and drum beats from west africa. the panpipers win the audience hands down. their music was so fun.

you can sample some snippets here:
