About

About globalFEST: Founded in 2003, globalFEST guest-curates in both performing arts and commercial settings, including such influential events as SXSW, Bonnaroo, Lincoln Center Out of Doors, as well as internationally at Festival d’Ile de France, and for socially conscious brands including TOMS. These curatorial opportunities raise the profile and visibility of gF artists and build audiences by having them appear in unexpected stages where more general music fans have the opportunity to discover the excitement of global sounds. In 2016, On The Road expanded to include gF’s first national tour, Creole Carnival. Featuring artists Emeline Michel (Haiti), Brushy One-String (Jamaica), and Casuarina (Brazil), the tour went to over 25 cities in the U.S. and Canada. globalFEST: The New Golden Age of Latin Music, is booked by Toby Tumarkin at IMG Artists in New York City. globalFEST: The New Golden Age of Latin Music is the second national touring extension of globalFEST and the first to spotlight Latin artists based in the United States. In addition to concert performances, the tour will include outreach programs at universities across the country and matinee performances for young audiences. It continues the mission of globalFEST to bring the world’s music to America.

Bio

Las Cafeteras In 2005, rooted in community and tradition, a group of students learning Son Jarocho music became known as ‘Los Cafeteros,’ named after the Eastside Cafe community center, which 2 members helped found. They soon changed their name to Las Cafeteras to honor the feminine spirit of the group. Without intending to, they organically evolved from studentgroup into a performance group aimed at sharing Afro-Mexican music from Southern Veracruz, Mexico in their East LA neighborhoods.

Over the years, Las Cafeteras would develop a genre-bending sound and electric live performance infusing lyrically-rich storytelling with the purpose of sharing the hidden stories of migrant life in Los Angeles. Las Cafeteras, who grew up in Los Angeles, were inspired not only by Mexican music, but by rock, reggae, hip-hop and Motown. For Las Cafeteras, it was essential to use music as a way to build bridges among the different cultures and communities that historically have had tension. Through music, Las Cafeteras is trying to help build ‘a world where many worlds fit.’

Bio As Native and migrant children who were remixing roots music, the Las Cafeteras sound was brought to life by four distinct vocalist and their eclectic instrumentation, including jaranas (small acoustic guitars), the quijada, (donkey jawbone), cajón (box drum), and a wooden platform used to dance Zapateado. Their first album, Live at Mucho Wednesday was a recording at the famous La Cita Bar in downtown LA. After receiving local praise for their uniquely raw and authentic sound, Las Cafeteras jumped into the studio to record a real record. The success of their first studio album It’s Time launched the band to new heights, placing them on stages with Mexican icons Café Tacvba, Lila Downs, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros & the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. They’ve since toured North America from the Santa Barbara Bowl in California to Lincoln Center in New York, and from the Montreal Jazz Festival to Art Basel in Miami. Las Cafeteras released their latest album Tastes like LA in the fall of 2016, which included the track “If I Were President.” In February, 2018 they received the “Best Artist” award from Define American and launched a 25city globalFEST tour. Las Cafeteras play music with the spirit that can only be explained through an ancient African Proverb, “If you can walk, you can dance, and if you can talk you can sing.”

FLOR DE TOLOACHE

ÂŠ Andrei Averbuch

Latin Grammy-winner Flor de Toloache make New York City history as its first and only all-women Mariachi group. Founded in 2008, Flor de Toloache is lead by singers Mireya I. Ramos & Shae Fiol. Reminiscent of the early days of mariachi, the group started as a trio, Harp, Violin and Vihuela. Today, Flor De Toloache performs as a full Mariachi ensemble. The members hail from diverse cultural backgrounds such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Colombia, Germany, Italy and the United States. This defines their unique flavor and sound. The result of this cultural bouquet is an edgy, versatile and fresh take on traditional Mexican music. They coalesce as would a band of sisters, with a grace and vibrant beauty that casts a spell over their audiences not unlike the legendary Toloache flower still being used in Mexico as a love potion. While working to preserve centuries old traditions of Mariachi, their melange of the traditional and the modern pushes the boundaries of the genre and brings Mariachi music to new audiences.
