The world comes to New York this weekend.
For the 10th year, the city will host Globalfest, America’s best-curated nexus of sounds from around the planet. Sunday at Webster Hall, fans can hear acts from Zimbabwe, Mali, France, Spain, Canada, Iran, Turkey and Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, as well as Canada and the U.S.A. — without leaving a single building.
If those last two countries don’t sound sufficiently exotic, the musicians from them perform styles cooked up in South America, Cuba, the Balkans and other spots.
For the last decade, Globalfest has served two functions. First, it’s a place where music fans can sate their sonic wanderlust. Second, it’s a confab for members of the Arts Presenters Council to book bands for culturally starved places around the country, from Binghamton to Butte.
