Founded in 1980, in Barcelona, La Vella Dixieland is the most well known traditional jazz band in Spain.

Their proposal has achieved great success, playing at numerous Festivals, recording seven albums of which more than 35.000 copies have been sold, and participating in various events that have been an important part of Spanish cultural life (the '92 Olympic Games)
