Angola: Second edition of the International Jazz Festival

The second International Jazz Festival recently took place in Luanda, the capital of Angola, from 6 to 8 October.

With performances by both national and international musicians, the event offered Angolans a chance to appreciate the wide diversity of jazz music.

The programme included workshops, master classes and improvisation sessions, with training offered to local jazz musicians.

The event was first organised in 2019 by Dimbo Makiesse, an Angolan pianist, with performances by Belgian musician Julien Nick and locals.
