Faces and Music of Indonesia (Festival Seni Islami)

Traveling is a great opportunity to see the smiling faces in this world's little dot and hear sweet melodies sung in a different language.

I spent my last afternoon in Yogyakarta by strolling along the city's most famous street, Malioboro Street (sounds like that familiar cigarette brand). That day, January 21st, I was lucky enough to witness Festival Seni Islami (Islamic Arts Festival) in Fort Vredenburg. I was embracing Islam through their music and fashion. The festival was mostly participated in by students.
