Corbak 2026: Eclectic Jazz and World Music Festival in La Chaux-du-Milieu

Corbak offers an eclectic musical break at Salle de Spectacle in La Chaux-du-Milieu. From May 21-23, 2026, this Swiss festival brings together 10 artists exploring the boundaries between jazz, world music, and conscious hip-hop. Since its creation, the event has established itself as a spring gathering for crossover music in the Swiss Jura. The intimate venue setting encourages immersion in traveling sonic universes.

The 2026 edition features cosmopolitan programming led by Yael Naim, Piers Faccini, and Oxmo Puccino. The lineup also includes Ballaké Sissoko, Orange Blossom, Loïc Lantoine, and Conservatoire Big Band Corbak. This selection combines Mediterranean folk, Malian kora, trip hop, and jazz in a spirit of cultural openness.

Musically, Corbak primarily explores jazz, folk, and indie folk. Sub-genres like singer-songwriter, alternative rock, chamber folk, electronic, and trip hop weave a sophisticated sonic palette. The festival favors artists who cross ancestral traditions with contemporary sensibilities, building bridges between cultures in crossover and poetic musical propositions.

Corbak 2026 will take place May 21-23 in La Chaux-du-Milieu. For lovers of world jazz, Mediterranean folk, and crossover musical discoveries, it's the unmissable Swiss spring rendezvous.
