Meet Nading Rhapsody from Sarawak, Borneo

Nading Rhapsody

Introducing Nading Rhapsody, the award winning bands from Sarawak, Malaysia. They are here at WOMEX 2018 in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. Feel free to drop-by and meet them at Stand A2 – Rainforest World Music Festival, Sarawak.

Nading Rhapsody billed as an Avant-Garde Borneo Ethnic - World Music ensemble, has represented Malaysia at various international arts involvements since 2012.

Since 2012, their expressive approach resembles the indigenous origins and cultural roots of each member in Nading Rhapsody. The Sea Dayak (Iban), Land Dayak (Bidayuh), Highlanders (Orang Ulu), and Coastal People (Melanau) are among the indigenous people of Sarawak in Borneo Island.

Their folk songs, ritual chantings, lullabies, myths, stories and voices are portrayed in this unique cross-cultural repertoire. "Singkang NR" featured mystical and spiritual notations that are hauntingly beautiful with indigenously paradoxical, radical, provocative and rebellious elements.

Come and meet Nading Rhapsody and the team of Rainforest World Music Festival at WOMEX 2018.
