King of Russian Reggae, Gerbert (Gera) Morales and Jah Division performing "Africa" and "Dozhdik" at JetLAG Festival 2015.

ABOUT JETLAG: "One of the most vibrant music festivals in the Northeast, and one of the most important displays of Russian-American culture in the world."

JetLAG Festival, or "JetЛАГ", is an annual open-air music festival that highlights traditional and contemporary trends in music, poetry and performance art. The festival contextualizes and explores genres, styles and projects that embody such links, such as Russian guitar-poetry and folk song, rock, klezmer, gypsy music, trance, rap and freestyle poetry.

The name JetЛАГ is originally an English-Russian pun (JetLAG, where "lag" means "camp," because establishing a common campground for both artists and the audience is traditional for Russian rock and folk festivals)

The festival's headliners and guest list include internationally known musicians from Russia as well as legendary American musicians :: Frank London, the world-renowned trumpeter, composer and bandleader ['Klezmatics', 'Brotherhood of Grass'], and Leonid Fëdorov, of the legendary Russian rock band ‘Auktsion’)

ABOUT GERBERT "GERA" MORALES:

Gerbert Morales is the stenography of emotions that spread in a wide range from a ''real-art-must-be-sad'' mode to something both tranquil as the ocean after a storm and wild like a waterfall in the mountains. Those denying love will reacquire it after the encounter with Gera Morales' soul laboratory. In сhemistry with Vanya Zhuk, the iconic Russian reggae-troubadour presents Jah Division hits and new songs to the lyrics by Joseph Brodsky, Daniil Kharms, Arseniy Tarkovsky, Alexander Vvedensky, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Alexandr Galich's songs and Alexandr Vertinsky's romances.
