JazzReggae is a solely-student run, two-day festival in celebration of music, art, food, and culture held once a year on Memorial Day weekend. This unique collaboration of creative interests includes the intertwining of urban jazz and coastal reggae music, recognized through two distinct days, “Jam Day” and “Reggae Day.” JazzReggae features performances by world-class music artists; this year we are proud to announce our headliners: Santigold, Common, Ziggy Marley, The Grouch and Eligh, Ryan McDermott, Barrington Levy, and Marcia Griffiths! With distinguished art displays and a diverse selection of delicious food from all over LA, the festival provides an enriching experience that can only be found within the community of people that it attracts.

Set against the backdrop of graffiti-era New York, Manbach’s Rage Is Back delivers a mind-bending journey through a subterranean world of epic heroes and villains, and is already being called “the great American graffiti novel.” A must-read for any literate hip-hop fan, Rage is Back is available in the iTunes bookstore and is currently one of Amazon.com‘s “Books of the Month”.
