STORY: This jazz festival is providing

a ‘breath of fresh air’

to Algerians who have missed live music

JO HARMAN, SINGER: “So I think now is the time, if you want to get up and have a dance, ok? Are you ready?”

The DimaJazz festival

was on hiatus for two years

due to the health crisis

It's back with a special focus

ZOHEIR BOUZID, DIMAJAZZ FESTIVAL MANAGER:

“This year has a special theme: women. It's about the women of jazz. DimaJazz remains a space of meeting and exchange for the Algerian public, and it's the image we want to export for the whole world."

FAIRUZ BESSARI, AUDIENCE MEMBER:

“It was an exceptional night, it represented the real image of Algeria, we loved it. It was amazing. I danced and took photos, it reminded me of the beautiful old days.”
