<p>GLOBALFEST 2013 That rolllicking world music event is back and sprawling across the universe and the floors of the grand Webster Hall. Highlights include: A Tribe Called Red: This crew of DJs and audio-visual artists, joined by live pow wow singers, reimagines pow wow music for Canada’s increasingly urbanized aboriginal youth. Christine Salem (NYC debut): One of the few female voices of Maloya, a traditional music of the island of Réunion. Fatoumata Diawara: With an intense but gentle stage presence and catchy, lilting songs, Diawara is the latest strong female Wassalou voice to emerge from Mali’s diverse, lively music scene. Kayhan Kalhor and Erdal Erzincan: Two masters in their own right join forces for virtuosic improvisations based on the shared melodies of Persian and Turkish classical forms. La Santa Cecilia: Big, bold, and danceable, this Latin Grammy-nominated L.A.-based band harnesses gutsy vocals and roaring accordion to explore pan-Latin and alt-pop good times. La Shica: Flamenco and funk-tinged rock are the perfect pairing in this Madrid quartet’s hands. Lo’Jo: Polyglot pioneers of border-defying music from elsewhere and everywhere, the French band synthesizes powerful grooves, and vocals Martha Redbone Roots Project: With a soulful voice and intrepid spirit, Redbone focuses on her Native American and Appalachian roots. Mucca Pazza: A marching band that thinks it's a rock 'n roll band, a couple dozen mischievous performers – including high-jumping cheerleaders, anarchic horns, and helmet-amped guitarists. Oliver Mtukudzi and the Black Spirits: Oliver, known affectionately as ‘Tuku,’ the venerable Afropop pioneer from Zimbabwe has remained a vital, ever-changing part of the African music scene. Stephane Wrembel and His Band: 2012 Grammy-nomineeWrembel’s wry, skillful interpretation of the jazz manouche guitar sound, first made famous by Django Reinhardt. Stooges Brass Band: Winners of the coveted "Best Contemporary Brass Band" at the Big Easy Music Awards, The Stooges have gained notoriety as a full-blown party band from New Orleans. (Please note: Stooges replace Parno Graszt, who will unfortunately be unable to appear.)
