« Jazz, culture and living together », it is under this theme that the 31st edition of the Jazz à Ouaga festival is held, scheduled to take place from April 28 to May 6. In the logic of promoting jazz, this festival works for the recognition of mixed and improvised music from around the world and for a constantly renewed jazz.
Two renowned artists performed during the opening ceremony. Thanks to their invaluable talents, they managed to thrill the hall of the National Center for Performing Arts and Audiovisual (CENASA).

According to Abdoulaye Diallo, president of the organizing committee of Jazz in Ouaga, this festival consists in entertaining the spectators through jazz music in order to help them overcome the situation that Burkina Faso is going through. For him, this edition of the festival is that of resilience.
« It was absolutely necessary given the context we are living in. When there is a crisis as serious as the one we are experiencing, when the stress is so strong, when anxiety is omnipresent at all levels, we thought that our festival could serve to bring a little joy, a little hope to everyone“, he indicated.
It should be noted that several activities will be carried out during the festival, including the Rendez-vous of the communities as well as concerts by 31 groups of artists. Also, more than 200 artists are expected throughout the event.
