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 evening will fit in seamlessly: Not only Mashrou'Leila, already known from the 2016 opening, but also the band Zenobia will transform the Stadthalle into a dance floor with synthesizer sounds from the Middle East. Finally, DJ Habibi Funk will show visitors how to make the large hall shake with his Arabic-inspired electronic beats. A finale not to be missed!
