globalFEST
The annual showcase of exotic bands descends upon Webster Hall.
  By Jay Ruttenberg

Webster Hall ; Sun 9

Every winter, as industry types flood New York for the Association of Performing Arts Presenters conference, a groovier event arises along a parallel track: globalFEST, a one-night showcase devoted to rising musical acts from exotic-sounding reaches of the world. Though designed to bait bookers, the concert is very much open to the public, converting Webster Hall’s three stages into a kind of Epcot for the arty set. Duck into one room and find the Creole Choir of Cuba, round the bend to bask in Rhythms of Rajasthan, turn around and witness the New York debuts of Senegalese artist Yoro Ndiaye and Hawaiian singer Kaumakaiwa Kanaka’ole. The organizers are touting a traditional bent to this year’s lineup, but at heart globalFEST remains happily free-form—the kind of evening in which Red Baraat, NYC’s leading Bollywoodish big band, rubs shoulders with RAM, a “vodou rock” band from Port-au-Prince. It’s quick-fix ear travel, minus the jet lag and grubby hotel.
