Celebrating the best in international and local jazz talent, the country’s flagship musical event, the Barbados Jazz Festival sends out the soulful sounds of jazz across the island from idyllic venues: the modern Sir Garfield Sobers gymnasium suits a large crowd; the open air Farley Hill National Park is ideal for a day of picnicking and jazz, and the lovely Sunbury Plantation House is over 300 years old and steeped in history.

This year’s festival will be headlined by 1970s Motown star Smokey Robinson, and will also feature a wide range of both contemporary and classic jazz vocalists including Etienne Charles, Babyface, Lalah Hathaway, Robin Thicke, Warren Hill and the Cuban Classics, among others.

For more information, please visit the festival’s official website at www.barbadosjazzfestival.com.
