Archive Plena Libre, Plena al Salsero, Emerging over the chatter of a packed house at New York’s Lincoln Center, the warm tone and subtle rhythms of a hand-held frame drum quiets the crowd as it beckons to an assembly of drummers to join. Layering in one by one, soon the polyrhythmic textures of three panderos (frame drums) interweave and converse, echoing as percussionists materialize from behind the audience and march towards the stage. Atop this tapestry of rhythm, a melodious voice calls out, and a chorus of singers responds, providing the final elements of a music known as plena. 12/18/09 >> go there Here Comes Trouble 2010, If you can no longer tell the cowboys from the Cubans, the rancheras from the rockers, and the Irish sailors from the mariachis, you’re not alone. As the dust settles from the mushroom cloud of globalization, the last standing musicians have found their music mutated into the only sounds they know: new hybrids that reference cultural traditions without fear, seamlessly switching from surf rock guitars to retro accordions, from New Orleans funk beats to Mexican polkas. 11/23/09 >> go there Cedric Watson, L'Ésprit Créole (Valcour Records), Riding in from the dusty plains of Texas with a fiddle under his arm, an accordion on his back, and a song in his heart, a Creole cowboy named Cedric Watson recently swaggered onto the Louisiana music scene. When this outsider burst into local saloons, first locals were taken back by his mastery of tradition and then by his ability to seamlessly integrate polyrhythms and grooves from beyond. 11/17/09 >> go there globalFEST 2010, For seven years globalFEST has been the springboard festival for world music artists on the brink of North American national mainstage success, performers known in one community but ready to cross into others, and the marquee stars of tomorrow. 10/08/09 >> go there Cesaria Evora, Nha Sentimento, (Lusafrica), On the island of São Vicente, far from the coast of Senegal, in the port of Mindelo, a city that leans against the sea, in the Café Royal, she would gather in the company of Mindelo’s musicians in the late afternoon, preparing for a night performing in the clubs, where she quickly became a local idol. She sang the blues in the Cape Verdean creole, a punchy, silk-gloved West African Portuguese. Between trademark puffs on a Portuguese cigarette and shots of hard liquor, in front of the richest men in Cape Verde, a blooming Cesaria sang in an adult’s alto tones of the distances across the ocean. She mourned for love in the bosom of craggy and accidental islands washed warm by tropical currents. 10/07/09 >> go there Le Vent du Nord, La Part du Feu (Borealis Records), As the powerful wind whips across the Canadian landscape it brushes away layers of debris to reveal gems once buried and thought to be lost in the past, while it simultaneously fans the flames of innovation. Québec’s Le Vent du Nord (The Wind of the North) has rewritten a transatlantic francophone story of discovery and loss seeking to uncover their heritage while sailing along new paths of artistic discovery. 09/29/09 >> go there DePedro (National Geographic Music) 2009 Fall Tour, DePedro may be the first solo album for the man behind the name, Jairo Zavala, but in no way is it his debut. Already a celebrated recording artist in Spain, where he was born and raised, Zavala has spent the past two decades playing, writing, and performing with bands like Amparanoia, Vacazul, Los Coronas, and Calexico. 09/18/09 >> go there International Body Music Festival 2009, The juxtapositions at the International Body Music Festival are balanced by the sonic cross-cuts of this little-known music form called Body Music. This was demonstrated in the debut Festival last year. “We were all playing our bodies,” Festival director Keith Terry says, “but culture would really shine through with every artist. That really hit me - we were all playing the same instrument, but the result that came out was so distinctively French, or Turkish, or Brazilian.” 09/15/09 >> go there Abaji, Origine Orients (Absilone Music), “I just can’t play a new instrument,” laughs Lebanese-born multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Abaji. “I always fall for the old broken ones. It’s like one broken heart speaking to another, and I feel I can transform these old instruments into the sounds I hear in my head.” 09/14/09 >> go there Fat Freddy's Drop, Dr. Boondigga & the Big BW, On a distant planet floating in a sea of patched-together spaceships, Dr. Boondigga and the BW, a mad scientist and his sidekick robot, have kidnapped New Zealand’s high-tech soul mercenaries Fat Freddy’s Drop. 09/04/09 >> go there They Might Be Giants / WNYC's Radiolab, Waves and airwaves intersect as WNYC’s Radiolab teams up with They Might Be Giants for some beach blanket biology (and neuroscience and physics) to celebrate the show’s sixth season and the band’s upcoming album, Here Comes Science. 09/03/09 >> go there Kitka, Cradle Songs (Diaphonica Recordings), The pastel smiles and hush-a-bye ditties many in the West associate with lullabies and children’s songs are a world away from the pensive, magic-steeped, and sometimes dark songs sung over the cradles in Slavic, Balkan and Caucasian cultures. “These songs were not only about putting a baby to sleep. They summon something bigger, something cosmic," muses Kitka singer Shira Cion. “We wanted to create something different than a purely sweet and sentimental album. We envisioned an album that captured all the depth and dimensions of motherhood.” 09/03/09 >> go there Rosanne Cash @ WNYC's The Greene Space, When a pop- and rock-obsessed Rosanne Cash came of age, her father, country legend Johnny Cash, handed her what he called “her education,” a list of 100 songs he insisted she had to learn. It embraced everything from stony lonesome Appalachian ballads to the wry wit of Woody Guthrie to the country breakthroughs of Hank Williams and Merle Haggard. It was a master handing down the tricks of the trade. 09/02/09 >> go there Chuck & Albert, énergie, “Of 2000 MP3s, 1200 were songs or bits of songs. Some songs had four or five versions,” Chuck explains. “Our island is just a three-hour drive from tip to tip, but in different pockets of Acadian communities, you find the same song but maybe with a different melody part or refrain, or a variation in some of the verses, and we could use various bits and pieces. As was the tradition, the songs in Georges’ collection were sung using the feet for rhythm but otherwise unaccompanied. We’re the first to add chords and harmonies to the eight traditional songs chosen for this album,” often weaving together several tunes or new melodies as the arrangements evolved. 09/02/09 >> go there MarchFourth Marching Band, Rise Up, 2009 Tour, They may start marching down the block, playing on the upper deck of a ferry or at a major stadium, or dancing a hole in the dance floor. They may break into wild Balkan dances, down-and-dirty New Orleans-style jams, madcap circus romps, or the theme song to Rocky. They may do just about anything. 08/17/09 >> go there The Black Seeds, Solid Ground, (Easy Star Records) 2009 Tour, Down-and-dirty dancehall and the deep throb of dub may sound like a Kiwi novelty but New Zealand’s sparkling beaches and green, rolling hills proved the perfect place for transplanting Jamaican sounds. Reggae has been a passion for New Zealanders since the 1970s, marked by a pivotal Bob Marley concert in 1979 and the growing support and struggle for Maori cultural and political recognition in their native land of Aotearoa, the Maori name for New Zealand. 07/31/09 >> go there Celebrate Mexico Now 2009, “We’re trying not to present just one Mexico, with its North and South, East and West, and so on,” explains Celebrate Mexico Now Festival Director Claudia Norman. “We’re basically trying to present something that isn’t definable, something that extends into Mexico’s past and across borders into cultural hotspots like New York. For the last 15 years, there has been a huge migration of Mexicans to NYC and part of this huge migration, a big but often overlooked portion, are professionals and members of the arts community. They have come here and developed their artistic careers critically contemplating their heritage while transforming it into global culture.” 07/31/09 >> go there Orchestra of Tetouan, 2009 Tour, It all began with an Afro-Arab musician and poet Blackbird, who came to Spain from Baghdad. Or perhaps it was one of the other Moorish philosophers whose poems sang of wine and whose writings on the stars later influenced Galileo. Driven from its native home, the music that emerged in this unique period fled across the Mediterranean, carried by the Jews and Muslims persecuted as Spain was reconquered. This Andalusian music leftits traces in the songs and instruments of France’s troubadours. But the story did not end there. 07/20/09 >> go there 17 Hippies, El Dorado, 2009 North American Tour, The new Berlin weaves in and out of the old on songs like “Uz,” where lyrics in Frankfurt’s age-old dialect get sazzed up with Turkish strings, a sound you could only hear in today’s Germany. In “Six Green Bottles,” a Romanian melody collides with a Northern English lullaby and lands somewhere near Tempelhof. “In a way, if you draw a line from Romania to Northern England, it just happens you land in Berlin,” laughs ukulele and bouzouki player Christopher Blenkinsop of 17 Hippies. “We lost many of our traditions in Berlin for obvious historical reasons. We are now finding new traditions, by mixing the sounds of people who come here. That just couldn’t happen in Paris or London.” 07/17/09 >> go there Toto La Momposina, La Bodega (Astar Artes), Dancing in dusty backyards to quill-tipped gaita flutes and resonant drums, the people of Colombia’s Caribbean coast villages cultivate songs and sounds that sprung from the traditions of indigenous peoples, the Spanish conquistadores who came to their lands five centuries ago, and the African slaves they soon brought with them. On the island of Mompos where the Magdelena River meets the sea, Latinized European brass and guitar flow seamlessly into Indian gaita melodies and bold vocals, all to a powerful African pulse—in an amalgam that varies from village to village. 07/02/09 >> go there Huun Huur Tu/Carmen Rizzo, Eternal (Electrofone Music/GreenWave Music) 06/29/09 >> go there Project Ahimsa, Global Lingo 06/25/09 >> go there Salaam 06/24/09 >> go there Granada Doaba (Gnawledge Records) 06/23/09 >> go there Cheick Hamala Diabate, Ake Doni Doni (Grigri Discs) 06/23/09 >> go there Chase Latino Cultural Festival, 2009 06/10/09 >> go there Watcha Clan, Diaspora Remixed (Piranha Musik) 06/08/09 >> go there Sunset Concerts, Skirball Cultural Center (Los Angeles) 06/03/09 >> go there Väsen, Väsen Street (NorthSide) 06/01/09 >> go there Tribecastan, Strange Cousin (Evergreene Music) 05/25/09 >> go there Goran Bregovic, Alkohol (Wrasse Records) 05/15/09 >> go there Mariachi Classics, Mariachi Real De San Diego, (Mardi Gras Records) 05/04/09 >> go there Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Rare Elements (5 Points Records) 05/04/09 >> go there King Sunny Ade 2009 Tour 04/28/09 >> go there The Shin, 2009 North American Tour 04/20/09 >> go there Santero, El Hijo de Obatala (Siete Potencias Trading Co.) 04/13/09 >> go there Lily Storm, If I Had a Key to the Dawn (Songbat Records) 04/13/09 >> go there Inbar Bakal, Song of Songs (Electrofone Records) 04/01/09 >> go there Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara, Tell No Lies (Real World Records) 03/25/09 >> go there Ocote Soul Sounds, Coconut Rock (ESL Music) 03/18/09 >> go there Hip Hop Hoodios, Carne Masada (Jazzheads) 03/17/09 >> go there Vandana Vishwas, Meera - The Lover... 03/04/09 >> go there Federico Aubele, Amatoria (ESL Music) 02/27/09 >> go there Lila Downs, Shake Away (Manhattan Records) 02/21/09 >> go there Galeet Dardashti, The Naming 02/06/09 >> go there 24th Annual Jewish Music Festival (SF Bay area) 02/03/09 >> go there Heineken TransAtlantic Festival, Miami (Rhythm Foundation) 01/24/09 >> go there Max Pollak and RumbaTap 01/21/09 >> go there On Ka’a Davis, Seeds of Djuke (LiveWired Music) 01/10/09 >> go there Juana Molina, Un Dia (Domino Recording Co) 01/09/09 >> go there M.
