Pedro Pablo & Three Cuban Jazz Feat Andiley Mojena. A Cuban musician with a long and impressive musical career whose objective is to share an experience of a performance in which the real protagonist is the true sound of Cuban Jazz from the golden years of the 30s, 40s and 50s.

Monday 5th August

German band ‘The Sazerac Swingers’ take to the stage and will take us back to the 20’s, the era when jazz music started to take over dance clubs all over the world.

Monday 19th August

Spanish group ‘Swing For Five’ will take us through the soundtrack of the 20th century, offering tunes that form part of the basic jazz repertoire because they were written for cinema or because the musicians transformed it into jazz. Some of the tracks they will play belong to classics like Pinocchio or the Wizard of Oz.
