globalFEST

The highly acclaimed and hugely popular globalFEST music showcase presents a kaleidoscope of exciting international artists. With a "voice serene and warm like the breeze" (The New York Times), Haitian vocalist Emeline Michel sings songs of hope and love in French, English, and Creole. Rio de Janeiro's innovative samba masters, Casuarina are renowned for their original music and inventive arrangements of classic samba repertoire. And Jamaica's one-stringed guitar virtuoso, Brushy One String holds audiences captive with his raw, reggae-inflected blues vocals and rhythmic guitar style.
