Music unites the world
Staff reporters
As the planning continues, the Chiang Mai (Mardi Gras)
Street Carnival 2004 is proposed from December 9 – 12, and is becoming a
huge international affair and will also incorporate the first International
Music Festival in Chiang Mai.
The objective is to present the variety of cultures,
societies, traditions and customs, as well as musical history and styles
from different countries around the world and to present world unity with
the sound of the world’s music.
The Planet Music Festival “Asian Vibrations” as part
of the Chiang Mai Mardi Gras will start with a dance parade with people of
different nationalities from all over the globe. Each country will provide a
float playing their typical national music, with dancers and performers in
traditional costumes.
Musicians and bands from different countries and various
music styles will be represented, including rock, pop, reggae, salsa, and
blues.
This will hopefully encourage the public and the young
generation to understand the theme - Music unites the world!
The festival program will run from 7 p.m. daily until
late, with music performances on three stages.
