INDONESIA: The annual Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival (JJF) celebrates its tenth anniversary between 28 February – 2 March 2014 at the Jakarta International Expo. Amongst the 130 international and Indonesian acts performing are headliners Jamie Cullum and Natalie Cole.
Staged at the Jalan Kawasan PRJ Kemayoran, a multitude of sponsors are once again converging on the event in order to promote mobile phones, tobacco, beer, cars and lifestyle products amongst the food and beverage stands in a large covered section between the main concert halls. In addition, a number of established audio brands such as Sennheiser and Shure have taken the opportunity to promote their products with live bands and acts performing on their booths.
‘We are pleased to continue our involvement in one of the largest jazz festivals in our region, especially in the festival’s tenth year,’ declared president and managing director of Sennheiser Asia, Ng Chee Soon. ‘We believe that JJF is an excellent platform for Sennheiser to get closer to the musicians and fans. Among these talents we are happy to give our full support to Raisa, Sennheiser’s brand ambassador in Indonesia.’
Over 130 local and international well-known musicians will be gathered to perform on 15 different stages for this three-day event, including Grammy-winning musicians, singers, songwriters, and producers. The line-up of popular Indonesian musicians includes Raisa, Sennheiser’s brand ambassador in Indonesia. In her performances at Java Jazz Festival, Raisa will use her customised Sennheiser SKM 5200-II together with various Sennheiser audio equipment.
Sennheiser microphones also will be used in a number of the performing stages supported by local rental partner, DSS Sound System. The Sennheiser brand booth is displaying a wide range of products from their consumer, professional and integrated systems portfolios, in addition to hosting a special fan meet-and-greet session with Raisa. ‘It is always a great experience performing at JJF and I am excited to have Sennheiser come on board this year with high quality audio equipment to bring my performances to a higher level,’ the singer commented.
