Pasadena Music Festival @ One Colorado Courtyard, 10/14/07
On Sunday, PasadenART Weekend concluded with a free seven hour Music Festival, featuring sets by Sara Lov (MySpace), Culver City Dub Collective (MySpace), Dengue Fever (MySpace), Ceci Bastida (MySpace), Jessica Fichot (MySpace), Balaio (a last-minute substitute for Tijuanos), and Jessie Baylin (MySpace), on the One Colorado Courtyard in Old Pasadena.
The festival was the perfect showcase for Los Angeles as a cultural melting pot, as songs were sung not only in English, but in French, Chinese, and Russian (and that was just by up-and-comer Fichot!), as well as in Spanish (Bastida) and Portugese (Balaio).
Lots more photos and videos after the jump.
