It was Malaysia Day Public Holiday, first time since Malaysia was formed in 1963 (I just have to emphasize this). I found out about this event through Facebook and invited Lynn to come along. It was held in Annexx, Central Market for the first time too.
There were performances by locals from KL and later it was the main performance by the Kayan's from Murum, Sarawak. The moment the sape was played, I felt I was home... It was so relaxing and wonderful.
...performance by a KLite...
After their short performances, the Kayan head talked about their life before and after Bakun Dam. From the looks of everyone's face that time, I knew that none of them knew exactly what happened behind the media about Bakun Dam. It was an eye opener to everyone to hear directly from the victims of the dam.
...a face-to-face meet on Bakun Dam...
The night ended with a mix performances from both the ethnic group and the KLites, playing their own piece of instruments together.
It was a good event and hopefully, more of this event to come in the future.
