Wall Street Journal, Concert Pick/Preview >>
The decade-old confab known as globalFEST takes the whole world as its stage, with a wild and thrillingly mixed cast of acts from all over. Directors of the festival include world-music programmers with ties to Lincoln Center and Joe's Pub, and there aren't many continents they have neglected to enlist in their cause. (Might we someday see a touring musical act from Antarctica?) This year's lineup, all packed into a single night of music, features 12 acts on three stages at Webster Hall (the main Ballroom plus the Studio and the Marlin Room), with musical delegates from Turkey, Iran, Spain, France, Zimbabwe, Mali, Canada and the U.S. Among the homeland representatives are the Stooges Brass Band, a group from New Orleans that mixes time-tested brass-band tradition with contemporary hip-hop beats; Chicago's Mucca Pazza, a "circus punk marching band"; Los Angeles's La Santa Cecilia, a pan-Latin sextet; and Stephane Wrembel, the French-born, New Jersey-based jazz-guitar virtuoso. 01/08/13 >> go there
