CAPE TOWN - More than 30,000 revellers are

descending upon Cape Town for the International Jazz Festival that kicks off

tomorrow.

The 16th annual festival is taking place in the Cape Town

Convention Centre.

Kaz Henderson from the communications team says they are

expecting even more festival goers than previous years.

Last night a free community concert in Green Market Square

provided a sample of what to expect at the two-day long festival.

"We have got an amazing line-up of artists to suit

everyone's tastes. Five stages, 17,000 people, it's going to rock."

Grammy nominated Amel Larrieux is an American singer-songwriter who is just one of the major artists performing alongside each other including Basia Trzetrzelewska and Beatenberg.
