What concerts are currently playing at The Jazz Room in Bogotá?
A Journey to the Heart of New Orleans
Jazz was born in New Orleans, within African American communities that blended blues and ragtime to create a sound full of improvisation and swing. That same energy is now coming to Bogotá, with classics like “When the Saints Go Marching In” and “Georgia on My Mind,” performed with the same freedom as they were played in the old clubs of the 1920s.

Tribute to Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong
Two legends of music—and above all, of jazz. A live concert where Frank Sinatra’s classics like “Fly Me to the Moon ” and “My Way” are brought to life by a top-tier jazz band, alongside other iconic songs such as Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World ” and “When You’re Smiling.” Different sounds, but the warmth they evoke is simply unique.
