Too many years have passed since in 2015, Joe Louis Walker visited Jazz San Javier for the last time. The blues heart of our festival is already suffering from the prolonged absence of one of our favorite blues musicians, who has offered us unforgettable moments on his previous visits.

A spectacular electric blues singer, songwriter and guitarist, he was described by NPR Music as “a legendary icon of modern blues”. We love his album “Blues Comin'On”, with contributions from Keb' Mo', Eric Gales and Albert Lee, among others, and especially his 2014 album “Hornet's Nest”, which the Chicago Sun Times said “is living proof of the limitless potential of the blues.” A bit of both and his latest album "Weight of the World" will offer us Joe Louis in his long-awaited return to our festival.
