Meet the performer
The confirmed list of performers performing at Rainforest World Music Festival on July 10 to 12 are:
INTI ILLIMANI – Chile
For four decades Inti-Illimani’s music has intoxicated audiences around the globe. Wedded in traditional Latin American roots and playing more than 30 winds, string and percussions instruments, Inti-Illimani’s compositions are a treasure for the human spirit. Their stunning blend of instrumentals and vocals captures sacred places, people’s carnivals, daily lives, loves and pains that weave an extraordinary cultural mural. Inti-Illimani is South America’s ambassador of human expression and their music is a powerful link between the land and the people. This unique sound, forged with passion and poetry, is a mantra for people in the world and within ourselves. Inti-Illimani has shared stages with Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springteen, Mercedes Sosa, Sting, Wynton Marsalis, John Williams, Youssou’n’Dour and Pete Seeger.
RED CHAMBER – Canada/China
Red Chamber straddles traditional and contemporary, whether it be ancient Chinese string band music, bluegrass, or jazz fusion. These virtuosic performers set the stage on fire with hot licks, power and passion! Red Chamber takes its inspiration from the traditional Chinese “Plucked String” repertoire that is seldom if ever heard in the west, to create a unique new sound. Their repertoire spans centuries from Tang Dynasty transcriptions, to modern compositions, with Bluegrass, jazz, and a host of other folk traditions in between. Red Chamber redefine virtuosity while leaving your ears tingling, your eyes shining and your heart soaring!

AKASHA – Malaysia
AkashA were the surprise hit of the 2008 Rainforest World Music Festival, and since then they have been in great demand. We are bringing them back again for a encore performance of hot Indian fusion music that is sure to burn up the stage, raise eyebrows and get the audience dancing. Mixing hot Indian percussion with lightening fast guitar licks AkashA redefine Indian music by adding the best of Malay and world influences. Whether on mainstage or in workshops, AkashA present performances of heart, virtuosity, and passion.
