Kasai Masai was one of 16 groups to perform at the 11th annual Rainforest World Music Festival held at Santabong near Kuching, the capital of the Malaysian state of Sarawak

Biswasjit 'Bonnie' Chakraborty, headman of Oikyotaan, a group based in Chennai, India, would never be caught playing hip hop. "We are playing music that is 500 years old, so we don't want to play sugary renditions of songs that have come down from that time. It is very important to us that we keep the aesthetic value intact." Adding to the festivities this year were two new events: the World Craft Bazaar and the Folk Art Forum and Exhibition that drew good crowds, as they not only got to look at how some of the crafts are made; they were able to purchase local and imported crafts from the likes of Kyrgystan, Japan and other countries.
Hopefully this festival will be continue next year with more new events.For those who interested to visit the next festival,my advise is to reserve your accommodation at least a month before festival season started due to not many hotel in this area and it might be full during this period.
