North Sumatra Jazz Festival
Music festival in Indonesia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North Sumatra Jazz Festival (NSJF) has earned recognition as one of the world's most distinguished annual jazz festivals in North Sumatra which features Indonesian and international artists engaging with European cultural institutions.[1] The festival, which was initiated by Erucakra Mahameru with Waspada eMusic (WEM) and supported by indiejazzINDONESIA, was held for the first time in 2011 in Medan, Indonesia. NSJF presents its own concept of jazz performance, which makes it different from other jazz festivals in the archipelago. It is the largest jazz festival in the northern part of the island of Sumatra.[2]
