I wish I had known earlier about this month long jazz
festival that is held every year in Barcelona!
Luckily it just started so I hope I can easily find tickets to attend
some of the many concerts that will take place this November. Although I am not a huge fan of jazz, I know
that seeing it live makes it much better and really enjoyable. It said in the article that both Sosa, the
pianist, and Fresu, the trumpeter, had an intimate opening convert at the Luz
de Gas club, which is only a couple blocks from my apartment! That would have been amazing to go see, and my
local friends tell me that some of the players for FC Barcelona also attend
that club. It would have been a great
cultural experience and a good time in general.
The article also said that there will be 56 concerts
performed by 80 different bands. This
includes both internationally known jazz musicians, as well as local Catalans
like Animes Candides. Although I do not
know that particular band, it is cool to see artists from around this area
performing alongside the best in the business.
I know Catalunya is known for their outdoor concerts so I hope I can
enjoy a nice evening with my friends listening to them outside.
I do not know very much about the type of music Catalans
listen to, aside from the house music at the clubs, but after walking around
the city, and reading this article, I have the feeling that they enjoy jazz a
lot. In the Gothic district I have
passed a few small jazz clubs that seem very relaxed and fun. Maybe I will stop inside one day and see for
myself!
