As reported in Vive.in (with pictures of Colombian musicians taken in Barranquilla for Carnaval)
Inaugurated in 1988, the Jazz Festival of the Teatro Libre in Bogota has been positioned as one of the earliest and most prestigious in Latin America. Since then, with the exception of 1993, has taken place annually.
As has become customary, during the month of September, the Festival will offer seven to eight concerts of solo artists and groups from diverse areas: Latin America, United States, Europe, Africa and, of course, Colombia.
Similarly, during the Festival are conducted workshops conducted by guest artists. Besides promoting and developing jazz in Colombia, has given rise to various festivals in other cities. Throughout its history, the Festival has invited more than 37,000 spectators
This year's festival will feature artists from the likes of Brad Mehldau U.S., who with twenty albums, eight of them leading by more than ten weeks, the list of Billboard magazine's jazz, has become one of the most surprising and interesting jazz pianists today.
It will also be after twelve years, the saxophonist Kenny Garrett, flagship of the acoustic jazz tradition.
One attraction is in Havana Report, which comes from Cuba, yet the sound of Afro-Cuban jazz, which the pianist Ernan Lopez-Nussa part.
And among many other artists from Italy Luigi Bozzola, will come with all that load of acid jazz, with its strong core of the acoustic explorers of all persuasions, integrating the new generation of musicians that guide modern jazz in that country.
Since 3 September, the Free Theater opens its doors to present an entire show of the best jazz and continue its tradition within the scene of festivals of this type.
