WYJF 2012-The Journey (1)

HELLO reads ;) ohh, how i miss writing so bad :)

this post is related to the event that me and my band join to in the end of May ;)

WYJF is a free festival. No tickets are sold and no form of admission fee is charged.

Founded by a Malaysian Jazz Personality, The WORLD YOUTH JAZZ FESTIVAL PUTRAJAYA MALAYSIA (abbreviated as WYJF) took off jointly under the initiatives of the Malaysian Minister Of Youth And Sports and Jazz Community Malaysia (JAZZCOMM)

World Youth Jazz needs a home and what a better place to make Putrajaya, Malaysia, already branded as The Youth Friendly City, “The Home Of World Youth Jazz”.

Putrajaya is the Administrative Centre of The Government of Malaysia and offers facilities and environment perfect for jazz to grow especially amongst the youths of the world.

Here, the youth of the world would not only be able to showcase their jazz talents but to also integrate, collaborate, interact and network between themselves and established jazz musicians from all over the world not only amongst jazz lovers but with other lovers of other genres of music, towards world peace and harmony.

Besides the annual festival named WORLD YOUTH JAZZ FESTIVAL PUTRAJAYA MALAYSIA (WYJF), there would be constant jazz events and happenings to make Putrajaya Malaysia the true home of World Youth Jazz.

23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 May 2012 are dates for when The Inaugural WYJF would be held. Thereafter, it would not be out of line if we then declare Putrajaya Malaysia as “THE YOUTH JAZZ CAPITAL OF THE WORLD”.

Prior to the main event annually, a series of mini jazzfests would hopefully be held in Putrajaya and other cities in Malaysia to keep jazz alive and growing.

WORLD YOUTH FESTIVALS MANAGEMENT SDN. BHD., that owns the rights, organises and manages WYJF 2012, Ministry of Youth and Sports Malaysia and Putrajaya, in conjunction with World Youth Day that is celebrated in Malaysia this year from 23 to 27 May 2012 under the National Youth Day 2012 Celebrations titled “MILLIONS OF YOUTH GATHERING”, welcome all youths of the world to join in efforts to promote jazz worldwide and make this world a beautiful place to live for all,

“BEYOUTHIFUL”
By The Youth,

With The Youth,

For The Youth.

That should describe briefly what is the WYJF means. Me, especially, feel so honoured to represent Indonesian musician in front of the global citizens. It isn't only do some skills, showing  your passions in music, the great feeling to be in the same stage with the famous musicians in all over the world. NO!  It wasn't.

this is the time that through the music, you can understand each other, you can connect with other people, communicate with them, by your instruments, the melodies, the harmonies. Oh yes, heaven on earth, i can feel!

Morning Smile is one of the band from Indonesia that invited by the Ministry of Youth and Sport Malaysia to join this event. The truth is, this event was held to give appreciation International Day of Jazz. Most of the musicians have great talents in Jazz. They showing their love, their emotions through jazz. Lot of things to be learned. I enjoyed the harmonies that they have made and luckily Morning Smile was one performer in that event.  The first ever event that held in Malaysia, contained lot of artist from all over the world.

The Things that i felt the most, i'm proud to be here. Not because i'm doing the stage performance with my band, but yes, we are the represent of Indonesia. Indonesia is the favourite artists of that event. I'm proud, really :')

Thanks God, for giving us the opportunity to feel the atmosphere of Malaysia for the second time. These experiences gonna be  huge unforgettable memories :)
