As the great Nina Simone said, “Jazz is not just music, it is a way of life, it is a way of being, a way of thinking.” It is everywhere, all around us, inspiring us to better ourselves through music and in life.
正如伟大的妮娜·西蒙所说：“爵士乐不仅仅是音乐，而是一种生活方式，一种存在方式，一种思维方式。”爵士乐无处不在，它环绕在我们周围，激发着我们通过音乐在生活中成为更好的自己。

Havana is this year’s Global Host City of International Jazz Day, reflecting the city’s profound ties to jazz. Hometown of renowned bandleaders, Mario Bauzá and Frank ‘Machito’ Grillo, the city and, more broadly, Cuba’s thriving musical culture gave birth to the Afro-Cuban jazz movement, inspired by a great mix of cultures and peoples across the region. Cuban jazz is a lesson in creative diversity that resonates at the heart of UNESCO.
