Medejazz 2023, to delight the ears, Music and Art in Medellin.
In 1996 the Medellin Jazz “Medejazz” Corporation was founded, which in 2006 changed its name to Medearte Corporation, continuing with the same cultural vision and objectives. With the work of these years, Medearte Corporation has made it possible that musicians who were once only idols heard on records, today are part of the musical history of Colombia and Medellin specifically.
The Medearte Corporation has developed projects where the main objective is the dissemination and promotion of the arts in its various manifestations, the institution is recognized nationally and internationally for its business management in favor of culture in Colombia and to support projects of young musicians and artists in the cultural work of the city of Medellin.
The 27th version of the “International Jazz and World Music Festival” will be held from September 6 to 16. Continuing with the tradition that the Festival has consolidated over the years, our city will host a wide range of artists, performers and groups, who thanks to their talent and creativity, will radiate their music and sounds on the public of Medellin.
The breadth of artistic genres, nationalities, cultures and staging that this Festival “Medejazz” has prepared for everyone will make Medellín the center of a rich diversity and cultural and human plurality, embodied in the multiple sounds that, we are sure, will not disappoint.
