A program of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, OneBeat is a cultural production, bringing 32 performing artists from 21 countries for a stateside tour. Events include panels, projects and concerts. In Asheville, OneBeat takes over The Bywater on Thursday, Sept. 27 with a 7 p.m. jam. Local musicians will play as well, and the Bywater encourages those attending the show to bring an international dish to pass for a potluck. Free.
