The participation of several international musicians, such as the Cuban Chucho Valdés, the US Wayne Shorter and the Panamian Danilo Pérez, considered all of them legends of jazz, are expected to take part in the Festival.
The installations of the inter ocean way will also receive the famous quintet of the Puerto Rican saxophonist Marco Pignataro as well as a recital of the US pianist Edna Golandsky.
The Ascanio Arosemena centre, as well as school for students, will be the stage of concerts and workshops given by the musicians who take part in this international event.
