This Sunday, Passeig de Gràcia turned into an open-air jazz club for the city to enjoy, for free, a 10-hour jazz marathon as part of the Festival de Jazz Barcelona.
From midday to 10 pm the city center grooved, championing jazz as a music that symbolizes freedom, dialogue, and coexistence.
Girona-based Sunset Rhythm Kings, kicked off the event with a sextet that has brought the rhythms of early 20th-century New Orleans.
Jazz lovers didn't miss the band's energy, improvising a dancefloor for people to follow the music's beats and others to interact with musicians.
The 58th edition of the Jazz festival started on April 18 and runs through November 28.
