Vopli Vidopliassova at globalFEST (40th-anniversary World Tour)

The cultural catalysts at globalFEST have been promoting the world's greatest musical traditions for over 20 years. This annual festival features an eclectic array of musical discoveries from today's hottest international sounds to styles born and bred in the U.S. The New York Times calls the festival, "a joyful and often raucous celebration of diversity and culture." The blockbuster, ten-sets-in-one-night evening returns to David Geffen Hall for their annual full-theater takeover at Lincoln Center, populating all the floors of the building with soul-stirring performers from across the planet and around the corner. This year's featured artists include: Al-Qasar (Turkey, France), Dale Watson & His Lone Stars with Special Guest Celine Lee (Texas, U.S.), David Rivera & La Bámbula (Puerto Rico), Insun Park & Generals (South Korea), Maria Mazzotta (Italy), The Naghash Ensemble (Armenia), Nidia Góngora (Colombia), Raiatea Helm (Hawai'i, U.S.), Saami Brothers featuring Ustad Naseeruddin Saami (Pakistan), and Vopli Vidopliassova (Ukraine).
