The Cairo Jazz Festival was founded in 2009 by the Egyptian pianist Amro Salah, driven by the passion to celebrate jazz and pay tribute to one of the unique forms of music that links the diverse cultures of the planet. With this guiding light, the festival has maintained an international reputation for over eight years and presented the best of jazz with musicians from Spain, Germany, Japan, Morocco, the United States, Lebanon and,  for the second consecutive year, Panama.
