LAST DAYS FOR ADVANCE TICKETS!
This weekend ¡Globalquerque! returns to the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA presenting two days of world-class music from around the globe. Experience seventeen acts from five continents on three stages at one fabulously priced event! Grammy winners to Latin Grammy nominees to legendary performers to new musical discoveries all will grace the stages at ¡Globalquerque! 2009.
And there's more. Bring the family to our Free Global Fiesta on Saturday (10:30 AM - 4:00 PM). There will be workshops with some of our nighttime performers, international dance lessons, instrument building for kids of all ages, GlobalCookie decorating, drum circles, an interactive hip-hop mural and so much more. Mamak Khadem from Iran will be showing a movie on Iranian women artists and following it with a Q&A (11:30 am). CAVA will lead a percussion demonstration playfully entitled "Percussion Canta Tambien" (Percussion Sings Too), and Susan McKeown & Lorin Sklamberg will explore the intersections between Yiddish and Irish musical traditions (and probably Woody Guthrie too!). Our community spotlight features an array of East Indian dance performances curated by Lonika Majithria.

And enjoy our popular Global Village of Craft, Culture & Cuisine open throughout the festival! An amazing array of handmade crafts, jewelry, art, clothing and more! Plus Brazilian, Ethiopian and Indian food, an espresso & gelato bar and Microbrews from Santa Fe Brewery and wine from New Mexico's St Claire Winery too!
