About Jok Jau Evong
Jok Jau Evong is an artist and activist of outstanding character. His tireless efforts to preserve and build the culture of the Kayan people in Borneo have been noticed by many. The Malaysian government does not allow him to leave his hometown of Marudi, Malaysia. The Borneo Project (of Berkeley) gives constant support to his efforts for the people and forests of Borneo. He holds the 'Right Livelihood' award. Now he has published a CD of the music of his people. As requested by Jok Jau Evong, all of the proceeds from this disc will go to the Uma Bawang Residents Association. UBRA is dedicated to cultural preservation and the development of sustainable futures for the Kayan people living in Uma Bawang-Keluan and the surrounding rainforests of Borneo.
