ALMUÑECAR’S annual Jazz Festival once again drew massive crowds, with organisers estimating over 6,000 music lovers packed the venues over the six day festival.
The jazz festival hit 98 per cent of capacity with ticket sales, showcasing the major popularity of this worldclass music event.
Festival coordinator Jesús Villalba added that every show met or exceeded capacity. The indemand concerts featuring international stars like Lizz Wright, Kurt Elling, Hiromi, Abdullah Ibrahim and Stanley Clarke had fans jammed in shoulder to shoulder.
Legendary pianist Abdullah Ibrahim received the ‘Key to the City’ for his unique jazzAfrican fusion style in a traditional ceremony. Ibrahim left his mark in the ‘Jazz Boulevard’ signing his name.
Afterhours sessions also saw record attendance figures and dancing into the early hours as Costa Jazz Quartet hosted jams with surprise festival performer guests.
With nearly all hotels full, over 75 per cent of festivalgoers travelled from outside Granada Province, injecting over €1 million into the local economy.
Villalba credited the festival’s growth to the professional team, fan support, and unique venues.
The Costa Tropical’s flagship jazz festival has sparked a movement, becoming the model for six other jazz programmes now held across Andalucia.
