Jazz is served at Maus Hábitos this December

Starting on 15th December, every Tuesday evening, there will be a jazz concert cycle, curated by the Association Porta Jazz, at Maus Hábitos. The event is themed ‘Jazz à Mesa’ and will set the tone for the new project titled ‘Blind Dates’ that will replace the poetry evenings delivered by Ana Deus and more recently, Adolfo Luxúria Canibal.

Everything you could want for Tuesdays evenings,’ Blind Dates’ will provide, namely small Jazz bands that will feature original musical partnerships. The musicians will have to apply beforehand and each week, they take to the stage without having rehearsed or settled anything in advance to deliver an impromptu gig.

Reservations online are accepted, upon the purchase of a snacks and drinks menu that costs 6.50€.
