Under the direction of Alejandro Tamayo and Miguel de Gemma, 27 musicians from the jazz association of Granada "Ool Ya Koo" bring to life a repertoire ranging from the classic swing of Duke Ellington or Count Basie to Latin and funk. They have performed in venues such as the Big Bands Encounter of Priego de Córdoba and the International Swing Festival of Monachil.

The staging of a big band is the ultimate expression of jubilation and finesse, a true popular celebration that, in another era, filled ballrooms and fortunately, still thrives. Sophisticated arrangements, a seductive rhythm, and the power of a large wind band will transport us to the era of the great swing bands.

If you sleep in Iznájar for the first time, you might think you hear delicate music gradually approaching your window from afar, only to softly fade away again.... You are not dreaming; you have the privilege of experiencing an ancient tradition: thanks to the "La Aurora de Iznájar" association, the custom of walking through the town’s streets performing these beautiful "Coplas de la Aurora" during the early mornings of the last Saturdays of each summer is kept alive.

Guitars, bandurrias, lutes, percussion, melodica, or violin accompany the voices that bring this emotional music and lyrics, born from the imagination of the ancient inhabitants of Iznájar, something you won't hear anywhere else. It is not a festival performance; Iznajazz simply includes it in its program so that it does not go unnoticed by anyone who visits Iznájar during these days.

The woodwind quartet Piacevole has established itself as one of the most prominent musical ensembles within the Iznájar music scene. They have a broad and varied repertoire that ranges from classical compositions by Chopin to more modern pieces of American and Latin American music. Their performances are noted for their sensitivity and musical commitment, aiming to reach all types of audiences.
