Adrian Lunsong is a passionate Local Guide who has been actively contributing to Google Maps for quite a long time. He runs his own YouTube channel, Go Loco Podcast, an unofficial Local Guides podcast.

In June of 2022, I had the pleasure of meeting Adrian Lunsung on a special media trip to Kuching and Miri and speaking to him, I was shocked to find out that it was his first time in Miri.

Throughout our Guiding Start program, we explored several tourist destinations and local food places where we were updating Google Maps with the latest photos and reviews to help visitors.

Part of our exploration took us to several beautiful temples and even local markets. But the highlight, of course, was in the late afternoons and evenings for the Borneo Jazz Festival in Miri, Sarawak.

Below, I will share a series of videos by Adrian Lunsong during our Guiding Stars program.

This year's event saw quite a bit of fusion jazz at the Borneo Jazz Festival, trying to break the conventional jazz theme. The objective was to get a different music market to visit the event.

As some may already know, traditional jazz is beautiful, but during an event or festival, there needs to be a little more excitement for the audience, young and old.

The venue was changed in 2018 to Cococabana at the Miri Seahorse and Esplanade from the previous location of the Parkcity Everly Hotel.

Miri has been home to the festival for more than 10 years now, and it still is one of the calendar events for the resort city as it attracts jazz music lovers from the region.

If you want to learn more about this event in Miri, you can read my article about the Borneo Jazz Festival, all you need to know.

And the next Borneo Jazz Festival 2023 will be held from 7-9 July at Cococabana Miri, Sarawak.
