Next Friday, the band Mashrou'Leila from Lebanon will bring the 20th anniversary of Enjoy Jazz to a close. Seven weeks full of exciting international acts, newcomers and jazz greats in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region are coming to an end. In 2018, the festival was once again filled with new discoveries and memorable moments. The closing night will fit in seamlessly: Not only Mashrou'Leila, already known from the opening 2016, but also the band Zenobia will turn the Stadthalle into a dance floor with synthesiser sounds from the Middle East. Finally, DJ Habibi Funk will show visitors how he makes the large hall shake with his Arabic-influenced electronic beats. A finale not to be missed!
