Jazz
The festival
Two days, one stage, and a whole living memory at play. On 12 and 13 November 2026, Festival Jazz & Co returns to the Centre Culturel Franco-Guinéen (CCFG) in Conakry for its 18th edition, organized by Guinée Jazz Festival, curated by Aboubacar Alain Touré. Admission is free, and the official opening takes place on Thursday 12 November at 4:30 p.m.
The theme of this edition says it all: “Guinean music celebrates its legends”. At the heart of the celebration, a tribute to Mamadou Camara, known as “MC” — a living legend of Guinean guitar and a founding member of Orchestre Kaloum Star. His guitar has crossed the decades; the festival puts it back at centre stage, surrounded by the generations it inspired.
