The Formentera Council's department of culture has announced details about Guitarres de Formentera, a festival set to descend on Sant Ferran this weekend. The gathering, a showcase for blues, jazz and rock music, has become a firmly implanted fixture on the local music scene. It is organised by an eponymous association headed up by Mr Ekkehard Hoffmann, a musician and the founder of Formentera Guitars.

On 15 and 16 September, music will fill the town's church-front plaza. The nightly 10.00pm-to-4.00am programme will include performances by Kozmic Blue, Black Cats, Mateoria, Chimichurri, Litus, Kelly & the Jam Factory, Los Peligrosos Gentlemen, Nacho Perez Group, Sirjo Cocchi Songbook and Monsters of Palma plus a jam session to culminate each evening. For the festival's close on Sunday, 17 September, Sirjo Cocchi Songbook will headline a concert at local restaurant Sa Panxa before opening the stage up for one last jam session.
