Kriol Jazz Festival 2014
The Kriol Jazz Festival - Praia is an annual festival that takes place in April on the island of Santiago, the program spreads over three days. The audience is as well local as targeting international public. April being a month of high tourist traffic, the period was chosen to attract the widest audience possible.
The four first editions offered an international schedule including artists such as Lenine, Ba Cissoko, Ralph Thamar & Mario Canonge, Jacques Morelenbaum, Manhattan Transfer, Ballake Sissoko, Vincent Segal, Sia Tolno, Manu Dibango, Cindy Blackman-Santana or Maraca Latin All Stars among others.
Based upon the international reference jazz represents, this project aims at creating a cultural meeting relying on Creolity. Thus, besides the concerts, a series of workshops will be offered around the same idea, allowing everyone to share its experience, expertise and approach.
As 2012 and 2013, the festival will open on a free night offering the performances of new talents. The two other nights will be as usual, opened by a Cape Verdean artist, followed by the shows of international artists.
Moreover, the jam sessions having become an institution of the Festival, they will be part of the program again in 2014.
Tickets for this sixth edition will be available for 1000ecv (standing) and 1500ecv (sitting) per night, the first day being free.
