The live music events it features include jazz, blues and reggae performances. One of Harlem Jazz Club’s key characteristics is its intimate and funky atmosphere. Once the gig has finished, DJs take over the venue, so the party can continue.

Jamboree Jazz

Jamboree belongs to the most popular clubs in the central Gótico neighbourhood. It was founded in the early 1960s, and was crucial for the development of the local jazz scene.
