November 13, 2011 at 8:45 PM Hi everyone! There's no doubt in my mind that most of us should try to make this festival. Why? Not only because of the intriguing line-up but also because by the time January rolls around, we will be tired of wintry weather. Go south - where it'll be warm and sunny!

One of Panama's most significant cultural events, the Ninth Annual Panama Jazz Festival will be held on January 16-21, 2012. Already a reference in the global jazz calendar and attracting more than an estimated 100,000 people since its inception, this year's festival is dedicated to tenor saxophonist Carlos Garnett, one of the most prolific Panamanian-Americans in jazz, known for working with artists such as Miles Davis, Charles Mingus and Art Blakey, among others.
