On Sunday it’s the turn of Globalfest, an annual world-music event that this year features a dozen acts from five continents on three stages at Webster Hall. Now in its seventh year, Globalfest prides itself on a program that ranges from the familiar to the exotic. La Excelencia, a driving 12-piece orchestra with roots in the Bronx that specializes in “salsa with a conscience,” is an example of the familiar.

As for exotica, how about Namgar? This rock ensemble from the Siberian steppe, which combines traditional and modern instruments, is named for its colorfully dressed lead singer, who seems almost a Mongolian version of Bjork. Or perhaps you’d prefer Nightlosers, a blues band from Transylvania that also draws on Romanian Gypsy and folk music.

“We want to help people get beyond their own taste and expertise and make them realize there’s this amazing influx of artists coming through town at the quietest time of the year, when everyone should be hibernating,” said Bill Bragin, a director of the festival. “We were founded post-9/11, when there was a sense of xenophobia and borders closing, so we thought it was important to put international work out there.”
