Roberto Fonseca and his mini Big Band closed the Nîmes métropole Jazz Festival in the style of the Buena Vista Social Club at the La Calmette sports hall.
The curtain has fallen on the Nîmes Métropole Jazz Festival, hosted by the Agglo de Nîmes. It was Keziah Jones who opened the way a month ago, on the Paloma stage in Nîmes.

The Gard jazz festival closed its festivities on Saturday evening at La Calmette with an excellent performance by Djagda, in the first part. But the attraction of this evening was the mini Big Band Roberto Fonseca. The Cuban multi-instrumentalist pianist presented his new album “La Gran Diversión”.
Roberto Fonseca, facetious prodigy • Yannick Pons
A tribute to the golden age of Cuban music and the festive nights of Havana. Facetiously, the pianist announced as soon as he entered the stage: “ You will laugh, cry and dance “. Promise kept, piano in the lead. Mambo, rumba and bolero. The La Calmette stage looked like the Buena Vista Social Club this Saturday evening. The sports hall was sold out like some other concerts of the festival, which filled the rooms well. The jazz programming tinged with Latin American and flamenco touches enchanted the spectators. Looking forward to the next season!
