The Panggung Pusaka: Senandung Kota festival at The Godown arts centre in Kuala Lumpur, which opened yesterday evening, welcomed a young and curious crowd to a series of community programmes featuring traditional artists and culture keepers.
The festival, which runs through the weekend, is Kuala Lumpur-based cultural outfit Pusaka’s biggest event for the year in Malaysia after its music festival appearance at the renowned Festival de l'Imaginaire in Paris in June, where it introduced a Main Puteri performance (a healing ritual from Kelantan) to an enthusiastic French audience.
