Alpujarra Jazz & Blues

ALP Busquistar 2017The beginning of August will see the annual Jazz & Blues Festival in the Alpujarra: the 3rd, 4th and 5th.

American Blues artist, “King” Solomon Hicks will be headlining the festival billboard, as well as Jazz guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and the Granada-based funk band, Funkdación.

This festival has been running since 2004, thanks to the collaboration between the Town Hall and the Culture Department of the Provincial Council, and each year it draws larger crowds looking to both escape the coastal crowds and to enjoy some top-notch music nights on the heights of the Alpujarra Granadina.

On the 3rd, for example, Funkdación is playing, which is probably the most established funk & soul band on a national level so they’re not to be missed.

On the 4th it is the turn of Jonathan Kreisberg, a guitarist-compositor from New York, who has played in Japan, Finland, Denmark, Spain, and of course, the States.

Then on the 5th ‘King’ Solomon Hicks will wind up the festival. A top name in the New York blues-guitar scene and who has played in the most important blues festivals around the world.

All the concerts will be held on the Patio de las Escuelas in Busquístar, and tickets for the three concerts can be bought (18 euros) or at seven euros for individual concerts, online at www.ticketmaster.es, or at the door.
