As many of you will know, Jaén in July is the emblematic action of tourism promotion organized by the Diputación de Jaén since 2004. During this month four towns of Jaén fill their streets with music and people who want to enjoy.
The month began strong with a new edition of BluesCazorla. With four scenarios distributed by the town and international top-level artists, this festival has shown that this genre can thrill large audiences with strength, soul and authenticity.
A new edition of A Sea of Songs, a festival that, with more than two decades of history, has just been held in Torreperogil. The event combines author music with solidarity initiatives, crafts, stories, exhibitions and literary competitions.
At the end of the month one of the most refreshing proposals comes:Summer vertigoin Martos. This independent music festival brings together great names from the national scene along with new talents that step on.
And if your thing is groove, rhythm and energy,Imagine FunkIt's your destiny. On August 1 and 2, Pozo Alcón, in the heart of Sierra del Pozo, welcomes the great meeting of the funk of southern Europe.
