GlobalFEST 2018, NYC, is relocating its 15^th annual festival this year from Greenwich Village to the heart of Times Square and the intensive, celebratory evening of twelve international music acts will appear at three venues; B.B. King’s Blues Club, sister venue, Lucille’s and across 42nd Street at the Liberty Theater. Visit www.globalfest.org for more information.

Flor de Toloache (NY/USA/Mexico) is an all-woman Mariachi band, who perform traditional Mexican Mariachi music as well as easily crossing over into performing rousing music influenced by a number of other musical genres.

                                 

Eva Salina and Peter Stan, voice and accordion (NY) are committed to keeping beautiful, passionate, soulful, traditional Balkan Romani songs alive and current.

 

Miramar (Puerto Rico/NY) sing and play the dreamy, romantic, sensual Latin Boleros of mid-twentieth century Puerto Rico, including compositions by composer/musician/poet, Sylvia Rexach, active in the bohemian artistic community in San Juan. Rexach was an independent, free spirited woman, revolutionary for her time. She died at 39 in 1961, but her boleros have continued to grow in popularity since her death.
