Chisinau to host eighth annual ethno-jazz festival

In the last few years, Chisinau has become rather famous for its international annual ethno-jazz festival, organized by Moldovan jazz band Trigon.

This year, the eighth edition will take place between September 24 and 27, and will include acts from Austria, the United States, and Brazil, among many others.

Part of the proceeds are normally donated to charity.

Ethno-jazz combines elements of folk and ethnic music with jazz sounds. Some of Trigon's work can be listened to here and here.
