Webster Hall says…

Stamp your passport at the door of Webster Hall for GlobalFEST, now in its fifth year. The 13 bands performing tonight — a third of which are making their stateside debuts — hail from far-flung locales like Hungary, France, Korea, and Italy. The six men in Lo Còr de la Plana stomp out frenetic rhythms from Marseille, harmonizing in Occitan, a Romance language on the decline in southern France. Also, make sure to catch 84-year-old Dominican guitarist Puerta Plata, as well as Dulsori, a celebratory troupe of Korean percussionists performing in the samulnori and pansori traditions.
