The pioneering British band in the fusion of pop music with jazz and Latin rhythms became very popular throughout Europe in the mid-1980s. Songs like “Half a minute”, “Sneaking out the black door”, “Yeh Yeh”, or “Don't blame it on that girl”, among many others, were also great successes in Spain in that wonderful decade for music.

With Mark Reilly, its vocalist and leader at the forefront, and a great discography to present, especially his wonderful 2017 album "Gravity", Matt Bianco is a luxury closing for the XXIV edition of the Festival, integrating in its current line-up an exquisite selection of the best jazz musicians in the UK.
