The story

Algiers International Jazz Festival in Algiers

An international jazz festival in Algiers, building on the city's documented jazz history dating to the 1969 Pan-African Cultural Festival, staging concerts by Algerian and visiting international musicians that blend mainstream jazz with fusion styles drawing on North African and broader African musical traditions each year.

Jazz has a documented history in Algiers stretching back to at least 1969, when the First Pan-African Cultural Festival brought internationally significant jazz musicians to the city as part of a broader celebration of African arts and politics, a historic gathering that placed Algiers briefly at the center of global jazz and pan-African cultural exchange.
