Incarnates itself the vanguard of Brazil.

It is carioca, mate forays Devendra Banhart collaborator Marisa Monte and Natalia Lafourcade, integral with Fabrizio Moretti, drummer of The Strokes, the duo Little Joy, and has been part alongside Moreno Veloso such original projects such as the Imperial Orchestra perfect radiography of contemporary sound of Brazilian music.

In an interview for the Spanish magazine rockdelux I had a few years ago: I grew up during the dictatorship and in a house where music was very important because it was the only way to write history outside the restrictive society in which we lived.

I grew up in a small school of samba;

It was my greatest source of love and happiness, worshiping John Lennon and not Jesus, repeating the words "Cálice" by Chico Buarque, not the Ave Maria.

Amarante has since the late nineties seeking new paths that lead and enriching tradition of Brazilian popular music with injections of pop and rock.

He has cultivated mestizo rock and folk sunny and deepened in the less traveled tropicalism face with his album Cavalo.

In October 2013, Rolling Stone magazine named him among the hundred most important musicians in the history of Brazilian music.

darling of many specialized critics saw their bucolic and saudade of his songs to the spiritual heir of Caetano exile in London.

Amarante indie sounds and melancholy;

composed in Portuguese, English and French;

and it looks like a monk of the song appealing to empty poetic music.

He has just been nominated for Emmy awards in 2016 for Best Original Song series thanks to Tuyo, tuning the Narcos series.

Cartagena comes with his guitar.

After Amarante, it will be the turn of Asaf Avidan.

The Israeli picked up the guitar at age 26 to relieve the pains.

He had just broken a long relationship that left him wounded.

He got out of sadness creating the songs collected on the album Now That You're Leaving, published independently in some stores of his native Jerusalem.

The work was received with interest and began touring in Israel.

They accompanied his piercing voice deep lyrics and sounds of a guitar and a harmonica.

His popularity grew, took new album and formed the group The Mojos.

Thus he was born Avidan and the Mojos Asaf.

They recorded three albums and toured Europe together, but needed Avidan performed by himself, and started his own way.

At the same time, a fan made an amateur his mix of an old song that did not have the favor of the artist, but became an international hit, peaking at number one in fourteen countries.

Avidan's response to the international popularity was another intimate album, performed again heartbroken.

A combination of jazz, cabaret, blues, pop with a fatalistic look on love.

The prodigious Israeli musician as he wrote in The New York Times, composed as Leonard Cohen sings as Robert Plant and has the charisma of the greatest artists of cabaret.

With such an androgynous vocal reminiscent of Jeff Buckley as Nina Simone, Avidan comes first to the Cartagena Jazz Festival.

At 12:30 pm in the Plaza del Icue Street Jazz concerts with the band program Zoot Suiters start.

Swing Group who lives in Murcia that revives great classics and not so classic of the last century, and offers own versions of songs current issues.

The band was born in 2015 thanks to the union seven Murcia and Alicante musicians with extensive career paths, who decide twinned to return to the root, to the rhythms and sounds that moved them to pursue that happiness that only music can offer.

The band offers a show of Swing and Jazz authentic, very focused on the dance floor, encouraging the public to join the party at all times.
