The internationally synchronized meeting returns to the corner of Belgrano and General Paz. The time to celebrate International Jazz Day will be this Tuesday the 30th starting at 8 p.m. at the Vicente Cidade Cultural Center.
With a constant evolution to become one of the most anticipated events and enjoyed by the local public, the local edition of Jazz Day returns to Posadeño with a new management format in line with the times. In this way, the event will be held in co-production with local artists, with the Ministry of Culture being in charge of providing the infrastructure while 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to the artists.
The journey of jazz through time and space, from its neighborhood and suburban emergence in New Orleans – at the dawn of the twentieth century – to this present of absolute universality and high social consideration, is a good point from which to think about the spirit that UNESCO wanted to print since its inception when in 2011 it began celebrating International Jazz Day.
Placing ourselves in the vernacular sphere, in the province of Misiones its growth is sustained thanks to the efforts of a community of musicians and cultural managers. It must also be said that the event also experienced an evolution in its status as a social gathering, a date in which the quality and diversity of the musical proposals, the relaxed atmosphere around gastronomic offers and collective toasts – on this occasion in the renovated “Barcito del Cidade”, make Jazz Day one of the most anticipated musical festivities in the city of Posadas.
With a start scheduled for 8 p.m., the musical offer is:
Tiger Juice arrives with a second album under its arm (Jugo) and the still resonant echoes of a memorable concert at the Peña Itapúa. The now experimental trio – thanks to the recent incorporation of Diego Bergara on electric bass – returns to Jazz Day to give a new example of its musical journey, joined by the singer and percussionist Ailín Dartois, aka Lin Sista.
Unus Mundus Group: They debuted at Jazz Day 2023 – held in Silicon Misiones -. A year later, with a five-track album under their belt (Unus Mundus Grupo on Spotify), the instrumental band that found inspiration for its name in a concept by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, returns to the stage of the jazz festival, this time with a special guest: singer and songwriter Cecilia Moya.
Debutants at Jazz Day, the quintet arrives Red Land Jazz, which has been growing hand in hand with the fusion of various aspects of the style, with careful executions that have already managed to captivate the public that had the chance to enjoy them in certain pockets of the Posada nightlife. The added value, on this occasion, will be given by the presence as a guest, of Itzel Rojaswho was the great revelation of the 2022 edition.
From the provincial north, arriving from Puerto Libertad, the grid is completed by Wild Trioa formation that puts drums, guitar and double bass at the service of what the group itself defines as “an instrumental proposal in which versions of the regional cross-border repertoire are fused, together with original pieces of an electric and coastal nature in which the dreaminess of the Alto Paraná jungle resonates”.
Jazz Day Misiones 2024, this time under a new management format in which the State and the private sector – in this case the artists – create synergy so that, in these complex times, the cultural wheel continues to turn.
