Probably not everyone knows that the town of Saint Louis, the historic capital of French Sudan and a fascinating testimony to colonial architecture, is also home to the continent’s most renowned jazz music event.
Fans of this musical genre know perfectly well that this is an event not to be missed, in which the best African musicians and international guests of the calibre of Paolo Fresu, Gilberto Gil, Herbie Hanckok and Richard Galliano have participated in past editions. The beautiful backdrop of the decadent pastel-coloured colonial buildings, with their old wooden galleries, on the small island of Saint Louis, surrounded by the banks of the Senegal River and the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, and reached by land from the horizontal Eiffel Tower, the revolving iron bridge designed at the beginning of the last century by Goustav Eiffel.
