Year after year, Paris's Jazz à la Villette stages a string of musical concerts under the headline, "Jazz is not dead". The festival offers a diverse repertoire featuring the sounds of electro, hip-hop and punk, as well as more traditional interpretations of jazz for orthodox fans. This year's Jazz à la Villette will host US-born composer and pianist Randy Weston, as well as popular singer Hindi Zahra accompanied by Tigran Hamasyan, and the "father" of Ethiopian jazz, Mulatu Astatké, among other artists.
