globalFEST 2019 at the Copacabana
With Mardi Gras Indians straight out of New Orleans, Afro-futurism coming from Mozambique via Dusseldorf, dub-inflected Colombian cumbia, gritty psychedelic South African punk and a grand Cuban mambo band, New York’s annual celebration of cultural music was back with a vengeance at the legendary Copacabana. Sit down with Gato Preto, Orquesta Akokan and BCUC and stand up to dance with the rest. Produced by Ben Richmond.
