Suriname Jazz Festival
The first Suriname Jazz Festival was held in October 2002. Denise Jannah, Suriname’s Jazz Diva had the honour to entertain the public during the maiden event. During the second festival the Henry Wijnhard Global jazz trio and the Ronald Snijders Band treated the audience to excellent classical, fusion and kaseko jazz.
The festival closes with a ‘Grand Jam’, inviting all festival participants to join.
The Suriname Jazz Foundation has a dual purpose:
Firstly, to develop the Suriname Jazz Festival into a large, internationally known musical event that lasts a number of days and attracts international participants. Secondly to stimulate the musical education of Surinamese youth in particular.
