The project
To bring new knowledge to jazz culture and composition, the first Guatejazz Festival was held in 2021, with 18,493 people taking part in the activities shared on Facebook and 1,400 attendees in the Zoom sessions. Participants were musicians, instrumentalists and jazz lovers.
Why it matters
Guatejazz began while stages were still closed, and turned that limit into reach: by streaming online it reached musicians across the country and abroad. The festival gives jazz made in Guatemala a space of its own to be heard, to study composition and to find an audience.
