THE 11TH ANNUAL EAGLE ROCK MUSIC FESTIVAL

Far-out international sounds on the DUBLAB “future roots” STAGE….

Cumbias, jazz from the hills to the flatlands of LA, the crackling of rare records brought to LA from Central America or the Middle East and heard in family collections….

The “future roots” Stage, curated by the Los Angeles based non-profit collective DUBLAB as part of their the week-long 10th Anniversary Exploration series around the city, merges the sounds of global Los Angeles and presents them as evidence that— in a city like ours— the world and its eras are at our back door, found in the cultural makeup of its residents, and blended anew in every corner of Los Angeles. DUBLAB is devoted to the growth of positive music, arts and culture from around the world that crosses genres, defies classification and bridges eras. Broadcasting independently since 1999, what started as a web radio collective has grown to producing events at institutions like the Getty and the Natural History Museum, creating alliances with like-minded artists, and giving back to the community by participating in free festivals like the ERMF!
