He was recognized for creating a high-level-quality International Jazz Festival on a farm which benefit-ed the whole area and neighbored countries that now have their own.


I can say cause I have been there and know Francisco’s dedication, that it is worthwhile going at least once. After that, you will be going year after year, as it had already happened with his faithful followers.

If there is a synonym for passion for what he does that is Francisco Yobino.
