KRIOL JAZZ

The Kriol Jazz festival is a large event organized by Harmonia, Lda in partnership with the council of Praia where it is performed every year.

The Festival’s main objective is to promote Creole-inspired music from all the islands, whether from the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Cape Verde, or from Africa, the cradle of Creole and has been the target of effusive praise worldwide.

The Festival’s main objective has always been fulfilled, namely to promote Praia (Santiago) and Cape Verde through art and culture, especially music. Proof of this is the fact that Songlines magazine named it three times as one of the 25 best festivals in the world.
