RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Every June, the Rio das Ostras Jazz & Blues Festival returns with music from internationally recognized musicians. Sponsored by a partnership between the State Secretariat of Culture of Rio de Janeiro and V & M of Brazil, this year’s festival is expected to attract a crowd of over 10,000. The festival features artists such as Medeski, Martin & Wood with saxophonist Bill Evans, Nicholas Payton, Yellowjackets, Jane Monheit, Tommy Castro, José James and Roberto Fonseca. The music will take place on the four outdoor stages Lagoa de Iriry, Turtle, Costazul and St. Peter’s Square. Rio das Ostras is indeed an idyllic backdrop for such a festival. Flavia Schmidt, a librarian from UFF, recounts, “The ambience is sort of like Woodstock, with everyone, sitting on the ground, drinking wine, enjoying the music underneath the moon and stars.” The beachside city of Rio das Ostras (population 90,000) is surrounded by fifteen different beaches; many containing ecological wonders where the stages will be located. For example, The Lagoa de Iriry otherwise known as Coca Cola Lagoon, was given its name because of the natural brown hue of the water due to natural sediment formed by a prior sand bar. Next, Praia da Tarturuga (Turtle Beach) is located next to Apricot Grove Beach, has warm, emerald waters with calm surf ideal for both adults and children. Costazul, the largest beach of the group, provides visitors with an expansive vista and is more suited for surfing, diving, and if you like sitting on the beach, 15,000 square meters of preserved sand. Lastly, Praça São Pedro in the city center is the newest stage to the festival and will host a variety of shows daily starting at 11AM. Due to over R$1 billion invested in infrastructure over the last four years, Rio das Ostras is well prepared to handle the influx of show-goers. The city offers approximately sixty hotels and inns, which is about 3,000 beds, and roughly thirty restaurants with several kiosks around the beaches. Still, if you are a serious lover of the outdoors, you can easily skip the hotel room and rent a campsite. The festival originated from monthly jazz and instrumental music shows, which were met with an enthusiast response from attendees and demonstrated an increase in tourism. In the past the The Rio das Ostras Jazz & Blues Festival has welcomed big names like Ron Carter, Stanley Jordan, and many others.
