Madeira Culture & Entertainment  Madeira Night Life   

Funchal Jazz 2007 will be held on the 5th, 6th and 7th of July in Quinta Magnólia gardens, as in past years. For next year it is already guaranteed the performance of Rosa Passos and her Brazilian sextet, the band of 8 musicians Roomful of Blues and the American saxophonist Rick Margitza which will play with some Madeira musicians.

There are still negotiations to firm but you may be sure that this will be three more fantastic jazz nights in Funchal.

Madeira Culture & Entertainment   

The cultural and entertainment agenda for November 2006 is full of interesting exhibitions, theatre plays and concerts. Have a look at at Madeira events scheduled for November. And do not forget that on the 17th of November Christmas lights will be turned on...
