The July Jazz Festival will be brought to a close on Saturday night at the foot of Perelik peak close to the town of Smolyan.

The unique all-acoustic concerts will be conducted without electricity in order to honor the preservation of nature and the idea of music helping to restore the mountain's ecology.

This year the Jazz Festival has featured a wide range of artists, such as the acclaimed American jazz singer Deborah Carter, Warsaw Village Band from Poland; Italian Connection 1 from Italy; Subtone from Germany; A Fula's Call with musicians from Senegal, Germany, the Caribbean, Holland and Iran; and Boi Akih from the Netherlands and the Maluku Islands.

The July Jazz Festival, now in its fifth year, brings together musicians from various nationalities to collaborate with their Bulgarian colleagues.

All concerts, held in the open-air amphitheater in Smolyan, are free to the public.
