More on Cairo Jazz Festival:

Amro Salah started the Cairo Jazz Festival in 2009, and it has since included various prominent jazz and other musical acts in venues all across Cairo and Alexandria. The Cairo Jazz Festival is a worldwide gathering that promotes the music and culture of jazz around the globe.

We were treated to a special spotlight on the 20th anniversary of Egyptian jazz band Eftikasat at last year’s 14th edition, and this year’s CJF promises to bring us even more exciting musical treats!
