“This year’s program is very attractive, with a number of impressive names”, says Dariusz Startek, the owner of koncerty.com. Paprykarz szczeciński (a special kind of Polish fish paste) is the logo of the event’s 12th edition.  "We serve a sort of musical paprykarz, I mean a mixture of different music types, to the audience each year. You mix a variety of tastes to produce something attractive.  I hope the Szczecin Music Fest will suit your taste this year”, says Dariusz Startek. 
 
Ana Moura, the fado singer, will open the cycle of concerts on 3 March.  “Along with Mariza, she is the most outstanding representative of this music type and its ambassador in Portugal”, points out Dariusz Startek. 
 
Jasmin Levy will sing in the Philharmonic Hall on 28 April.  “She is one of the most exciting stars, since her singing is always very emotional", says Dariusz Startek.  Jasmin Levy originates from Israel, but she sings in ladino, an ancient Judaeo-Spanish language.  Her repertoire includes both traditional tunes and flamenco.  Her latest album entitled “Tango” had very good reception.  And this is the music she will present in Szczecin. 
 
Al di Meola, an outstanding American guitarist combining world music with jazz, will appear on 27 May.  He will present adaptation of The Beatles’ music as recorded in his latest album "All Your Life". 
 
Fans of Selah Sue will have an occasion to celebrate on 3 June.  Being the youngest (26) SMF star, combining top quality soul, funk, reggae, rock, hip-hop and pop, she will perform in Azoty Arena Hall. She conquered the world with her debut album in 2011.  In Szczecin, she presented music from this record in March 2012.  Now, we can expect songs from her newest album entitled “Reason”. 
 
Goran Bregovic shall appear in the Castle on 7 July.  He is probably the most popular Balkan artist in Poland, a perfect embodiment of the region’s cultural complexity.  The organizers hope that Kayah will join him on stage. 
 
Herbie Hancock will join Szczecin Music Fest on 22 July.  “He is probably the most awaited-for star of our festival.  His visit is worth so many years of waiting”, concludes Dariusz Startek.  Herbie Hancock is one of the two most famous contemporary jazz musicians, with over 50 years of career whose origins reach cooperation with Miles Davis.  He is equally appreciated by fans of classical music, jazz, club music, techno and electronic tunes.
