Pink Noise Riga festival. Nubya Garcia

Inaugurated in 2024 by the legendary jazz musician Branford Marsalis, Pink Noise Riga music festival offers a cocktail of world-class jazz, pop-rock, fusion, and contemporary improvised music. Festival’s main idea is to help Riga stand out & shine bright in Europe’s music scene.

Nubya Garcia is one of the world's new generation jazz icons. The London-born saxophonist and composer, who has been nominated for a Mercury Prize and has released the critically acclaimed albums Odyssey and Source, will arrive in Riga with her quartet to offer a unique synthesis of jazz, dub, R&B, and classical music. The saxophonist will be accompanied by outstanding British musicians Lyle Barton (keyboards), Sam Jones (drums) and Max Luthert (double bass).
