Everyone has been very welcoming, and it’s my first time at the Rainforest World Music Festival. The festival so far has been so much fun and it’s my first festival since the Covid-19 pandemic

It’s great to come back after a couple of years to the Rainforest World Music Festival. It makes you feel like how it was in the old days in a good way. I feel the liveliness of the festival never died down and that they have lived up to standards every single time. I came alone, that’s how much I love the festival but of course I meet all sorts of people, friends and family. Every year I try to make it a point to come, and I hope to do so every single time.

It’s great to be back, I’ve joined the festival since I was a child so it brings back wonderful memories whenever I come with my mum. I’m really excited for the coming performances throughout the entire night.
