Chill Out at Some of the Coolest Musical Events of the World
 
Have you ever been to the Caribbean music festivals to experience the hot Jazz party? or have you ever danced to the cool tunes of the Plymouth music festival? Music fans from all over the world gather in the musical extravaganzas that simply take their breath away. Let’s have a look at some of the coolest music festivals of the world:

Plymouth Jazz Festival, Tobago – It’s one of the best musical festivals in terms of both mood and music. If you want to rock, then just check out for the tickets to enter the Tobaggo Jazz Fest. However, you can always avail the general admission tickets from the venue box office. If you are looking for the VIP wristbands, you can access the special fenced-off area just beside the stage with the open bar.

Sauti za Busara Swahili Music Festival (Zanzibar) – Get to see here performers from Imena, a Rwandan dance along with a big music troupe. Performers from all around the continent just love to be in the ambience of this festival. The Senegalese rap, the Rwandan folk and the Malagasy pop are some of the best performances of this grand event. The February event must not be missed, as it will bring you the African theater, carnival parades, comedy shows, dance performances and so on. Remember, entries to all such events before sunset is absolutely free of cost.

Oahu Slack Key Guitar Festival (Hawaii) – Craving to get engrossed in some hard-hitting guitaring? Ki-ho'alu is what the Hawaiians refer to the slack key guitar. It was the early 80s when this particular event kicked off in Honolulu. Hop around the Maui, Kauai and the Big Island, which are the biggest entertainment venues of Hawaii. The month of August hosts the one-day Oahu event that takes place out on the lawn lying adjacent to the oceanfront Kapiolani Park between Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head.

Buenos Aires Festival de Tango (Argentina) – The Tango is one of the most well known dance forms which is actually considered to be the most sensuous amongst all other dance forms. For the Argentines it’s not the sensuality that matters but it’s all about the jubilant music, the lilting rhythms and the rich lyrics that float along the busy streets of Buenos Aires. The music just unfolds like anything at the nearby theaters, parks and every nook and corner of Buenos Aires. If you wish, you can always go for the dance lessons and even participate in the dance competitions.

Austin City Limits Music Festival (Texas) – This is one of the largest annual musical events of the United States. Nickel Creek, Bob Dylan and the Whote Stripes have been the celebrity guests of this grand event. If you want to grab hold of the VIP tickets, you will get it through online in two packages of $1,700 and $3400. The open bar, the free gourmet chef tastings and the air-conditioned bathrooms are some of the facilities included within the package
