music lovers<\/a> are eagerly waiting for the arrival of this famous Nepali music festival scheduled to be held during November 1-6, 2018.<\/p>\nJazzmandu is usually a mix of local and international talents.<\/p>\n
This year, Jazzmandu is welcoming six international bands to perform in the festival in various venues across Kathmandu during the scheduled period.<\/p>\n
These foreign music bands include DACH, Nick\u2019s Cousins, Groove Gang, Adrien Brandeis Quintet, Eduardo Mendonca and Cynthia Abraham.<\/p>\n
Besides, there will also be Nepali bands including Cadenza (the festival organizer), Abhishek & Maria (who teach and perform jazz in Nepal), Project Sarangi that aims to safeguard and revive traditional Nepali music and Rabin Lal Shrestha duo with a melodious Eastern Classical.<\/p>\n
The Voice of Jazzmandu<\/h4>\n Nepalis are fond of jazz because of its interactive approach in bringing the jazz-style music closer to Nepalis.<\/p>\n
Jazzmandu presents different elements of music from traditional and non-traditional background including folk and instruments to melodies.<\/p>\n
It stands out unique among other music festivals, majorly because it infuses new trends and styles in music into the local jazz scene, in its 2018 rendition.<\/p>\n
\u201cJazz is popular because it revels in improvisation, it sounds different in each place. In jazz, there are no rules and there is much improvisation. It is more like a conversation,\u201d says Samir Chhetri<\/span>, one of the festival organizers and member of Nepal\u2019s first jazz band, The Cadenza.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe journey of jazz music in Nepal has been successful as evident in its track record from having a handful of jazz musicians 16 years ago to today\u2019s continuously-growing number of youngsters queuing to learn jazz at the Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory.<\/p>\n
