The inaugural festival made its
debut in 2011. Langkawi Live – One Earth Music Festival 2012 to be staged over
the weekend of November 2nd and 3rd 2012 will include an exciting list of the
region’s most exciting musicians.
Malaysian jazz pianist Michael
Veerapen will feature together with several other established and rising
Malaysian stars including Reza Salleh, Liyana Fizi, Poova and Amir Yussof
(Sabah) as well as Saxman Koh (Thailand), the Langkawi-assembled Panji Warisan and
the Langkawi Love Band.
The festival setting is the
picturesque beachfront of the Frangipani Langkawi Resort & Spa with the
music timed to start each evening just as the sun sets. The atmosphere will get
a little livelier each evening with DJs on the beach after 11pm.
In addition to the music the
festival aims to promote Langkawi internationally as an eco-friendly holiday
destination and to encourage the local community to keep the island clean and
green. The festival’s eco-theme this year is the Rivers Project which is a
programme to keep Langkawi’s rivers clean. Activities focussed on protecting
the environment will be organised throughout the day.
