Festival Jazz and Co en Guinee in Conakry/Dalaba
An eighteenth-edition jazz festival alternating between Conakry and the highland town of Dalaba, one of Guinea's own longer-running music events, bringing jazz and related genres to national audiences across a multi-day run held each November of the calendar year for nearly two full decades running.
Festival Jazz and Co en Guinee has reached its eighteenth edition, a run long enough to make it one of Guinea's more established music festivals, and its history includes shifting host locations between the capital and the interior: after staging a previous edition in Dalaba, a highland town known for cooler climate and colonial-era architecture, the festival returned to Conakry for its eighteenth run from 12 to 14 November.
