JazzReggae Festival 2011 [Documentary + Line Up]


The 25th Annual JazzReggae Festival at UCLA: Official | Tickets

Despite all the parties, clubs, concerts, etc. we tend to frequent, we here at Dank Radio love community events. For the people, by the people. So we're delightfully surprised that we were sent the documentary below celebrating the 25th Annual JazzReggae Festival at UCLA. We had so many questions about how the event came about and who was responsible for organizing it. This was THE perfect way to answer all of our questions. Not to mention give a voice to the people behind the scenes and have them explain what the JazzReggae Fest means to them. If you look closely you can see L from Truth Seekers Radio make an appearance [Shout out to Santana and the whole crew]. Without any further ado here's the documentary along with a few words to summarize the whole thing. Below you will also find a selection of artists that you may or may not know but you should definitely check out.




In commemoration of its 25th year, the JazzReggae Festival at UCLA releases a documentary that looks back through its history with festival footage and exclusive interviews with past producers. From its humble beginnings to its acclaimed present, the JazzReggae Festival has been entertaining Southern California since 1986 with performances by Erykah Badu, The Roots, and Damien Marley. From interviews with the festival’s founder Ron Richards to a fish-eyed view of the Roots performance in 2008, the documentary explores the JazzReggae Festival’s history, tradition, and importance as a cultural institution in Los Angeles.
