The overseas musical traditions, jazz, Cuban son, and Brazilian rhythms, their colors and structures, and Iberian music—more specifically flamenco—converge in an original proposal. In this project, besides original compositions, there is a tribute to classics of popular music such as Chiquinha Gonzaga, Dizzy Gillespie, Baden Powell, and Félix Santos.

In an essentially acoustic format where the sounds of the piano, three Cuban "tres", bass, and percussion intertwine with the Spanish guitar, the quartet creates an elegant and sophisticated musical texture that is also warm and captivating, leaving ample space for improvisation while respecting the roots of the music.

Alex Sancher Oliveria will present a personal selection of masterpieces of Brazilian music, from Jobim to Djavan, we could say.

Throughout half a century immersed in music, he has participated in multiple projects both in Brazil and Spain with musicians such as Gibran Helayel, Rubem Dantas, and Diego Guerrero. In the field of choral music, he directed the Intercultural Choir of Cruz Roja Granada and worked on the Solidarity Communities project and the Cultural Days of the Spanish Embassy as a guest teacher at the Orquestra Sinfónica de Kaposoka school in Luanda (Angola).

The musical richness of the Balkans and the energy and elegance of gypsy jazz, united by the nomadism of the very art, create a unique proposal—a sound world, a brotherhood. As the Slavic origin of the name indicates... BRATIA."

Four musicians from the iconic band Barcelona Gipsy Balkan Orchestra, driven by the need to explore an uncharted musical world, join forces with an artist seasoned in the legacy of Django Reinhardt to capture the exhilarating union between the infinite sound universe of the Balkan countries and the energy, sobriety, and precision of gypsy jazz.

The band that inaugurated Iznajazz, back in its first edition held in 2020, returns for what are probably the last concerts of their musical career. On Friday night, on the stage at Plaza Nueva, they will offer a repertoire based on Balkan music.

During their 15 years of existence, Xaranga del Xubec has participated in countless jazz festivals, carnivals, parties, streets, squares, beaches, boats... and even in the filming and soundtrack of Fernando Colomo's movie 'La isla Bonita.'

On Saturday, we will see the Xaranga del Xubec again, but this time in their natural habitat: the street. And with their eclectic repertoire: from New Orleans jazz (with lots of swing), Balkan music, Mediterranean sounds, klezmer, and even music that transports you under a circus tent.

They keep the audience immersed in the magic of music at all times, always with joy, lots of humor, good music, and above all, improvisation: 'We never give two shows the same.'

The impressive power of 'Los romanos de Iznájar' will take us from Calle Real to Plaza Nueva, and we can dance between batucada, swing and some surprises, a specially selected repertoire for Iznajazz.

In their usual musical environment (Holy Week), they have become a reference band in Andalusia over the past few decades, participating in numerous competitions. With their more than 50 experienced musicians, the power this band brings to the narrow streets of the town guarantees an intense and exciting musical experience."

Conductor.........................................Carlos Pacheco

Elsa Bhör will perform at Iznajazz with a stellar lineup, featuring 11 musicians on stage who will create a soundscape marked by the unity and solidity characteristic of someone who has found their own voice.

They will be presenting their latest album, "El Sabor," a LP with 15 songs whose recording represents the culmination of a process of sonic and conceptual evolution.

Habibi Selekta is a selector, promoter, and researcher of new musical trends, mainly related to electronic music from around the world, jazz, experimental, and organic sounds. For Iznajazz, he proposes a festive musical evening inspired by the lands, traditions, and peoples of the Balkans.

He has worked on innovative musical and cultural projects such as: a tour with Esther Lopez's belly dance company, Ethnic Experience (Tribal Visuals & Sounds), Colectivo Territorio Slow, Festival Deep Senses Experience, Cocina Aural, Iwafest festival, musical sessions for painters and artists, and the Vinyl and Cassette Collectors Club. His diverse sound palette and musical curiosity make him one of the most versatile and enriching selectors in the current scene, capable of blending or alternating pure dance sessions with active listening or deep listening sessions.

In this small didactic workshop, we will approach singing in a different way and observe the origins of the habanera as a rhythm, as well as its importance as a shared identity marker among Europeans and Afro-descendants. Through Spain, it contributed decisively to the long development of a rhythmic cell that spread within Afro-descendant communities throughout America and remains relevant to this day.

The workshop is divided into two parts: a theoretical part and a practical part, intertwined. Despite its brevity, the theoretical section aims to explore how the student feels and thinks about singing. Meanwhile, we will proceed with vocal warm-ups and group recognition, opening the possibility to address, more than singing technique itself, a small reflection on its ultimate essence in a playful and practical way. We will discuss the phenomenon of singing and, through phonemes, begin to search for notes to start building melodies that will form the basis of our future repertoire.

Opening exhibition on Thursday, August 28th at 9:00 PM.

Edith's passion for music and photography has led her to combine both disciplines in a project that excites her like no other: capturing the essence of concerts and festivals from within, always seeking the genuine emotions and the unique atmosphere experienced at each live show.

Her photos are not just simple reports; they convey energy, rhythm, and truth because a good photograph is not only about technique but also about passion and commitment to what happens on both sides of the lens.

Inauguration: Tuesday, August 26th at 8:00 PM.

Exhibition of iconic records from the history of international jazz, from Louis Armstrong or Nina Simone to John Coltrane or Tete Montoliú.

The records in the exhibition come from the personal collection of Andrés Garrido Sánchez, a great enthusiast of music in general, jazz in particular, and vinyl records. He hosted a jazz program for years on Radio Rute (among others), which was selected and broadcast for several seasons on the Network of Local Radio Stations of Andalusia.
