This Orchestra was initiated by the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage Sabah under the guidance of Mr. Chua Teck Lui in December 2000. It is the pioneer bamboo musical orchestra in Sabah. The objective of its formation is to preserve the use of bamboo musical intruments in today's society while uniting bamboo-craft enthusiasts and bamboo musicians. This group has now performed all over Sabah and Kuala Lumpur and there have even been performances in Jakarta, Korea and Japan. They emerged as champions in the national level "Ilham Desa" (loosely translated it means countryside inpirations) competition which was organised by the Ministry of Rural and Federal Development held on the 14th June 2007 in Selangor. The group has also produced an album entitled 'Muzik Tradisi Instrumental' which features instrumental traditional music.
The famed Kinabalu Bamboo Orchestra playing songs on various musical instruments crafted from bamboo, inckluding the Sompoton (Bamboo Aerophone), Bungkau (Jaw Harp) and and Tagunggak (Hollow Bamboo Idiophone). Watch various bands and solo bamboo musicians battle it out to win prizes for best act. Don't miss other exciting events such as the rampanau (bamboo stilt-walking) race, bamboo raft-building competition and performances by local artistes. It's all happening only at the Bamboo Music Festival in Tamparuli which will be held only once in every 2 years.
