The three-day festival, which celebrated the diverse tapestry of world music, drew music enthusiasts and travellers from all over the world. It featured 199 musicians from 12 countries across four continents performing a wide range of music genres. Among the notable artistes were Big Mountain, Afriquoi, Chatusram, Safi Theatre and Zee Avi.
"They managed to gather a total of 2,763 percussionists to participate in this three-day festival and of course, this is a new record. We hope that the RWMF can achieve another record the following year," he said in a video posted on New Sarawak Tribune's Facebook page. "It was an honour to be invited by the STB along with percussionists like Japan's Kumi Masunaga, Singapore's Syed Ibrahim and homegrown talent Shameer Bakhda to be part of this RWMF record.
From African djembes to Latin American congas, Indian tablas to Japanese taiko drums, the stage was a melting pot of rhythmic traditions. Musicians seamlessly blended their talents, forming a sonic tapestry that transcended language barriers and cultural differences. According to Nathaniel, music has a unique and powerful ability to spread unity among people. It is a universal language that transcends cultural, linguistic and social barriers.
