Max, Ron and a dude who seldom smiles, but they all are my new friends nowIt was lazy Sunday when me and my buddy Zul, a fellow photographer was out to the ever-jammed Mall in Gadong, when we discovered a colorful performance by people from Sarawak. A Sape musician played a mesmerizing music quickly caught everyone's attention and flocked to the scene. A guy named Jerry Kamit, apparently a world-renowned traditional Sape musician, showed what a Sape can do. The Sape is a traditional musical instrument, that has been used hundreds of years, by tribes of Borneo.
Jerry Kamit the famous Sarawak Sape Hero With him, was the colorful and friendly traditional dancers. They all performed a musical play for stories and folklores with graceful moves, that are passed down from generations. After some time we made friends and now are in touch via emails and hope that we could go down to Kuching in July to catch the most anticipated event in Sarawak, the Sarawak Rainforest Music Festival 2008.
Hope I get my leave!
