Go ahead and leave the passport at home tonight — for the sixth year, globalFEST brings the world to NYC. Bands from Trinidad, Brazil, India, Iran, France, and beyond hit Webster Hall tonight. Inuit singer Tanya Tagaq's trippy throat-singing has already caught Björk's attention, and her duet with the avant-pop ice queen, "Ancestors," is available on iTunes. Calypso Rose, a Caribbean native known locally for her hundreds of songs, finally gets her due tonight with a headlining spot. Femi Kuti has had to pull out of the show (and indeed postpone his tour) due to illness, but don't miss French tribal electronica quartet Watcha Clan, who close out the evening.
