World Music Festival Recommendation: globalFEST 2014

Date: Listen to this year’s lineup on Spotify SUNDAY JAN 12, 7PM (doors at 6)
Venue: Webster Hall (125 E 11th STREET)

This übercosmopolitan music event will likely be your only chance to hear “subversive Ukrainian punk-folk,” “North African gnawa trance” and a host of other genre-spanning international acts in one night (at least until next year). The bash features a dozen musicians across three stages in Webster Hall. Represented locales range from Mauritania to Arizona; acts include Australia’s the Bombay Royale, Jamaica’s Brushy One String and Appalachian-Chinese folkies the Wu-Force. TONY
