I had the privilege to join a group of photographers under the patronage of Arden Khoo from ePixels to photograph the Penang World Music Festival 2008. This is the second year after its inaugural start in 2007. Featuring a wide selection of music from folk songs and country music, all the way to modern rock. It was culturally inspiring to hear music from bands all around the world including Reunion Island, Iran, Tibet, Denmark and Crotia! The handsome guy above is from the group Taeda all the way from Ireland.
Here are some of my favourites from the 3 night event.
More images can be viewed here. Thanks to Arden and Bryan for setting up the gallery.
