About this event
globalFEST takes over Lincoln Center's outdoor dance floor with Cape Verdean singer Elida Almeida, Sudanese-American experimentalist Sinkane and North African jazz futurists Saha Gnawa. The plaza's temporary dance floor is the season's signature idea — no seats, no rows, just a crowd moving between fountains and travertine. A silent disco follows at 22:00.
Why we picked it
Three continents of contemporary sound on a free outdoor dance floor at Lincoln Center, with a silent disco chaser.
