Several ambassadors have expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to bring their artists to perform in Qatar – dubbed the cultural hub of the region.

“Since our first participation in the festival, we have welcomed groups from Cataluña, Galicia, Madrid, or the Basque Country. We are keen to welcome Sergio de Lope this year, an artist from Andalusia,” said Spain’s ambassador Maria Belen Alfaro Hernandez.

In addition to the Spanish artists, German’s Jin Jim, Italian Ferra and Casarano, Poland’s Monika Borzym and Krzysztof, Belgium’s MEQ, and other artists will also perform at the festival.

“Poland will be represented by one of the most talented jazz artists of the young generation, the phenomenal duo of Monika Borzym and Krzysztof Dys,” said Poland’s envoy Janusz Janke.

“They will present their joint project, ‘Monika Borzym Sings Old Songs’, which was inspired by songs written by Polish composers and literary authors prior 1939.”

Despite their different backgrounds, all of the musicians will play together in perfect harmony.
