The Cultural Affairs Commission at UCLA Announces the Headlining Artists for
The 23rd JAZZ REGGAE FESTIVAL at UCLA

A Culture of Change Memorial Day Weekend May 24 - 25, 2009

LOS ANGELES, April 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The 23rd Annual Jazz Reggae
Festival at UCLA, a Culture of Change, is rapidly approaching Memorial Day
Weekend May 24th - 25th. The student-run festival, which has attracted an
average of 30,000 attendees annually over the past 6 years, features the most
prominent and critically acclaimed artists from around the world, along with
an international food, arts, and crafts fair. This year's theme, A Culture of
Change, will be incorporated into all aspects of the show. Our artists,
vendors, sponsors and messages are cohesive in support of our social and
environmental change. With this in mind, the festival's production team is
proud to present this year's headlining artists for both days:

Jam Day (May 24) - ERYKAH BADU
Reggae Day (May 25) - MAVADO

In addition to booking an elite line up and maintaining the art production
value with two LED screens, the production team has continued their efforts in
making the festival as environmentally progressive as possible. Our specified
Sustainability Team is working alongside many non-profit organizations to
ensure that all aspects of the show are eco-friendly. Waste-separation and
direct recycling will be exercised, along with strong encouragement to our
vendors to use biodegradable materials. A sustainability tent will provide the
attendees information on fair-trade products, energy and water conservation,
and the benefits of using locally grown products.
