Jamboree is a historic jazz club located in Plaça Reial, Barcelona. Established in 1961 by the musician Llorenç González, it quickly became a central hub for jazz music in Spain, hosting both local and international artists. During the Franco regime, Jamboree served as an important cultural space offering a degree of freedom of expression not readily available elsewhere. It has consistently presented a diverse program encompassing traditional jazz, bebop, Latin jazz, and more contemporary styles. The club’s intimate setting and long history have contributed to its enduring reputation as one of Europe's leading jazz venues. It remains actively programmed with live music performances throughout the year.
