Every year in the dead of winter, the much anticipated world music extravaganza globalFEST lights up New York City for Afropop fans. And this year the line-up is especially tantalizing. We’ll hear the samba sensation João Nogueira from Rio, conscious rapper BélO from Haiti, Afro-rappers SMOD featuring Sam, son of Mali’s Amadou and Mariam, the M.A.K.U. Soundsystem of Colombia, the brassy Debo Band channeling 1970’s Addis Ababa, and others.
