MUSICIAN Edwin Nathaniel was elated after his performance at the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) in Kuching recently. His joy knew no bounds as he shared one of his biggest highlights – collaborating with the Sarawak Tourism Board to secure a spot in the Malaysia Book of Records for “Most Percussionists In A Music Festival”.

To Nathaniel, 64, music is a powerful tool that transcends race, skin colour and disability. In an interview in Petaling Jaya, he said it was truly heartwarming to witness people from different walks of life coming together in the universal language of music.
