Formentera Jazz Festival puts on round table discussion, singing and percussion workshop for kids

frm jazz1The Formentera Jazz Festival—an event sure to fill the plazas of Sant Francesc with music fans and other obliging onlookers the evenings of 5 and 6 June, before blowing the island's collective socks off with a June 7th jam session at the Migjorn beach Blue Bar—also has first-class programming on deck for the morning crowds in town on Friday and Saturday.

Round table discussion of jazz and music

Friday 12 noon at the town cinema, Formentera Jazz Festival director Max Moya, musician and professor at Sedajazz musical collective Alezey León Reyes and—director of Menorca's Festival Pronóstica—Ulises Pistolo, will host an event that is part opening ceremony part musical debate.

Kids percussion workshop

Saturday morning at 11 a.m., Max Moya and Mel Semé invite children across the island to el Jardí de ses Eres (Sant Francesc) for a workshop that focuses both on singing and percussion. Through games and other play-based activities, organisers hope to turn on Formentera's youngest to the world of music.
