This yearʼs Sultangate Music Festival features more young talents and international acts. Local budding singer/songwriters Lily and Chelsea will join Fairuz and Wawan in a special segment Lit The Stage while musicians from Pakistan will be performing under the banner of JAMBRO for the festival finale..
Lily and Chelsea have written songs that reflect issues faced by the young generation today. Through their songs, they hope their voices can be heard as they share their views and perspective on life.
Our home-grown indie band The Lost Hat will take the centre stage during the official opening of the festival on Friday. They'll do a Bohemian line-up, all being original compositions inspired by gypsy music.
We will also feature Ivan Kwan, a local saxophonist who caught the eye of the organiser when he performed with Veda9 at last yearʼs festival. After making his name in the local Jazz scene, his exploratory style of playing has gradually evolved to a more divine sound. This festival will be his debut performance as a solo artiste
In addition to the Malay Heritage Centre, which was also the venue for last yearʼs festival, we will be hitting the streets this time around. Bussorah Mall and Baghdad Street will be two of the possible locations for the fringe events with a line-up of street performances throughout the 3 days.
