globalFEST is an annual showcase of contemporary global music held each January in New York City, widely regarded as one of the most influential world music platforms in the United States. The festival brings together emerging and established artists from across the globe, presenting genre-defying performances that reflect both deep local traditions and forward-looking innovation. Curated with a strong emphasis on artistic excellence and cultural exchange, globalFEST functions as both a public concert experience and a key industry convening point. It attracts music professionals, journalists, presenters, and tastemakers alongside a general audience eager for discovery. More than a festival, globalFEST operates as a launchpad, shaping international touring circuits and amplifying voices that might otherwise remain outside the mainstream.
