Formentera Jazz Festival to take place 23–26 September

cartell 2021 formentera jazzThe Formentera Office of Tourism reports that this year’s Formentera Jazz Festival will be held from 23 to 26 September. After the covid-19 crisis forced organisers of the 2020 festival to opt for an all-virtual format, the 2021 edition will combine in-person events with virtual activities.

Consell de Formentera premiere and tourism chief Alejandra Ferrer praised FJF organisers for putting nature and signature local sites at the centre of this year’s festival, insisting events like FJF offered visitors and residents of the island “an ever richer and varied cultural scene”.

After seven years, organisers say FJF is “more committed than ever” to using music to connect people with nature and the magic of Formentera, unveiling a new hybrid format for the festival that combines livestreaming technology with live-audience performances in iconic venues.

Sonically, FJF will continue to showcase diverse musical genres’ convergence in jazz, delivering the festival’s perennial boost to national and regional talent and using talks and workshops to reflect on the challenges in sustainability that face the island and the music industry.

FJF has received support from the Consell de Formentera since Formentera native Maxwell Moya launched the festival in 2015.

More information on the #FJF2021 programme will soon be available at www.formenterajazzfestival.info.
