We go to New York City for the annual globalFEST concert marathon, the biggest one day global music extravaganza in the country, to take in some choice concerts by: Fallou Dieng, a rising star of Senegalese mbalax; 84-year-old Dominican son maestro Puerto Plata; master accordionist Chango Spasiuk playing Argentina's chamamé style; and others. Plus we hear some of our favorite new projects by major artists such as Orchestre Baobab, Toumani Diabaté and other landmark African releases for 2008.
