When: 10.00am - 12.30pm, Friday - Sunday, 14th - 16th July, 2017
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.

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.

The Telegraph Review described their music as “spine tingling”.
47 Soul has bound together Debke – the traditional Palestinian street music and dance – with deep electronic beats mixed with the unmistakable sounds of the Middle East.
The BBC thinks that they have crossed over a bridge from East to West.
They have formed a new genre of music called the Shamstep, and it rocks.

Abavuki - South Africa
A powerful African Jazz outfit from Langa, Cape Town with infectious afro-beat grooves.
All the musicians are multi-instrumentalists, and the music is influenced by kwaito, samba, jazz and traditional rhythms, which they translate within a more modern format, using marimbas, percussion and brass instruments.
The Xhosa name “abavuki” means ‘Wake up, early birds!’
It is high energy, uplifting music.

At Adau - Sarawak, Malaysia
The new generation of musicians from Sarawak.
Winner of the Kuching Waterfront Festival Award 2016.
At Adau is an experimental world music band driven by the spirit of traditional tunes and old Borneo sounds of the sape and the perutong, blending them with a contemporary rhythm section and tribal drums.

Bitori - Cape Verde
Bitori - the legend of Funana!
This is the forbidden music of Cape Verde – the exhilarating, refined yet raw infectious dance music ‘funana’ which was banned during the Portuguese rule.
It is rousing accordion music
Bitori is now nearly 80 years old and his live show still remains captivating and energetic.
