We will focus on various themes, including
• El Hierro & Canarias: traditions <-> vanguard,
• the music of our neighbor region Northwest Africa,
and of course lots of jazz and improvisation, dance and visual art, working on the same focus themes.

 

And last not least, we will celebrate this year’s 15th anniversary reissue of Bimbache Jazz y Raíces – La Condición Humana, our treasured and critically acclaimed project CD, and welcome some of the original artists back on stage with us.
