Playlist: ArianoFolk Festival 2019 (Ariano Irpino, Italy; Wednesday 14th to Sunday 18th August 2019)

An ever-evolving festival, just like jazz and its conjunctions. That’s why we love Jazz:Re:Found, the musical happening taking place in the North-Italian region of Piedmont, which has reached its ninth chapter and changed its shape once again. The 2019 edition will indeed go on stage in mid-June over three days...
