About this plan
Bogotá fills with free jazz during Franja Jam Sessions, a FUGA program that turns El Muelle into a meeting point for live improvisation in the heart of the city. Three sessions start at 6:00 p.m., open to the public, designed for musicians and audiences to play together in real time.
Each session begins with a short concert from guest artists, then opens into a group jam. Anyone who shows up with an instrument can join the improvisation and shape the sound of the night with the rest of the room. The setup keeps every date different, with no fixed setlist.
The May 28 session features Antonio Arnedo, a saxophonist and composer who stands as a reference point in Colombian jazz. His set brings students, fans, and musicians into a shared sound conversation that mixes jazz with flavors from the Caribbean, Pacific, and Andean regions.
