The brandnew Tryp by Wyndham hotel in Albrook signed up to be a gold sponsor to BJBF 2015 for being the hotel of choice for all festival visitors for their stays in Panama City! The hotel will sponsor all rooms needed to accommodate BJBF2015 musicians during their stay in Panama City on the way to/from Boquete, and will also provide complimentary ground transportation from the hotel to Albrook airport.
Situated at an ideal location between the Albrook Mall and Albrook airport with a Metro station and Panama's central bus station right at it's doorsteps the Albrook Mall Tryp by Wyndham offers great comfort at reasonable prices for visitors to Panaman and the Boquete Jazz&Blues Festival. Special rates for Fedora club members are presently being negotiated. Please check back for more news. The BJBF 2015 line-up was published last night at our line-up release party at Hacienda Los Molinos which was attended by some 80 jazz&blues aficionados. The video showing all the artists was greeted with a lot of ahhhs and ohhhs and a lot of applause. Everybody present was convinced that with this line-up the Boquete Jazz&Blues Festival will once again reach a higher level with the stunning quality and proficiency of the artists who'll come to perform in Boquete next year! Please go to our line-up page to watch the video and get more information about the artists!
Don't forget to get your tickets or Fedora Club memberships early - we sold out this year! On June 18, 2014 Mr. Hans Lebuser, director of the Boquete Jazz&Blues Festival 2015 and treasurer of the Boquete Jazz&Blues Foundation handed a cheque of $2000 over to the principals of the Academia Internacional de Boquete (AIB), Mrs. Carla Rigau and Mrs. Melissa Vallarino.
This donation is specifically to be used for the realization of three projects: 1. A 3-day musical show of students of the AIB at the Boquete communal theater BCP in December 2014 2. A musical-theatrical show at the opening of the planned art show "Art of Music' which will run at the Boquete library parallel to the 2015 festival 3. A short musical-theatrical performance during one of the intermissions of the 2015 Boquete Jazz&Blues Festival Just one more example of how the Boquete Jazz and Blues Festival is contributing to the improvement of musical education and activities in our area! Important - please note!!!
Because of a conflicting music event at the same date we had to move the date of our line-up release party from June 14 to June 21, 2014. Same place: Hacienda Los Molinos, same time: 5pm - 8pm. Here we go again…. Thanks to the overwhelming support by the Boquete community of music lovers the 2014 Boquete Jazz & Blues Festival was a roaring success…but that was absolutely no reason for the organizing team to rest on their laurels. We got back to work on BJBF2015 immediately, striving to get everything in place as early as possible…. ….and here it is - the exciting line-up of BJBF 2015! We're inviting all you bluesin' and jazzin' babies in Boquete and beyond to come to our grand line-up release party on June 14. Come and take a look of the video presentation of the bands that will perform at next year's Boquete Jazz&Blues Festival from Feb 5 - 8, 2015! Come and take a look, and you'll agree that with these first-class artists BJBF2015 promises to break all records! Come and join us for the start of the fundraising and sponsoring campaign for BJBF 2015! Come, take a look and listen, and don't forget to bring you dancing shoes….and a little cash (:-))) Right after this party, on June 15th, we will start to sell festival tickets and Fedora Club memberships online via our website http://www.boquetejazzandbluesfestival.com/tickets.html Local ticket sales will start in September.
New members may join the Fedora Club and previous memberships may be renewed by dropping a cheque of $160 per person at Mailboxes ETC. in Boquete.
