Music - World Music Blowout 'globalFEST':
Annual World Music Blowout 'globalFEST' Reveals Planet's Traditions
Transformed - The festival takes place Saturday, January 21 and Sunday,
January 22, 2006 (NYC)

Artist Roster:
Auktyon (Russia)
Daara J (Senegal)
Daby Touré (Mauritania)
DJ Dolores (Brazil)
Emil Zrihan (Israel/Morocco)
Frank London's Klezmer Brass All Stars (USA)
Juan Carmona (France)
Keren Ann (France/USA)
Las Ondas Marteles (France)
Lura (Cape Verde/Portugal)
Niyaz (Iran/India/USA)
Roxane Butterfly's Worldbeats presents 'Djellebah
Groove' (France/USA/Morocco)
Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys (USA/Louisiana)

Returning for a third year after two consecutive sold-out concerts,
globalFEST ˜ New York's world music extravaganza ˜ announces the
line-up for what has expanded to a two-night event. The festival takes
place Saturday, January 21 and Sunday, January 22, 2006 at The Public
Theater, with the same 13 acts performing each night.

As in years past, globalFEST 2006 challenges audiences to re-think the
parameters of world music. As the Village Voice's Carol Cooper
described the first year, "Few, if any, of these acts were obsessed
with the 'purity' of their music. Authenticity and purity are not the
same, and if festival participants chose to bend and blend genre
categories, it was only after serious study of those root musics they
hoped to update or alter. If anything, the participants in Manhattan's
first globalFEST proved it's possible to respect the past without being
forced to preserve it forever unchanged." Isaac Guzman wrote in The
Daily News, "Aside from the high quality of the artists, what's
striking about globalFEST is that it does away with typical notions of
what constitutes world music."

Since its 2004 launch, globalFEST has served as a beacon for
international musicians hoping to boost their presence in North
America. The festival seeks to showcase artists for fans and
impresarios alike. Scheduled to coincide with the annual Arts
Presenters conference˜a performing arts event where most North American
performing arts centers and festivals book their coming
seasons˜globalFEST identifies artists on the cusp of success here and
gives them a springboard for further accomplishment on the touring
circuit.
