Eight Gigs: globalFEST Live

Thu., Apr. 7, Mondavi Center, 8 p.m., $12.50-$45

GlobalFEST Live brings together music from several different locales for a special night that transcends musical boundary. Dubbed the “Creole Carnival,” this tour features Brazil’s Casuarina, Jamaican export Brushy One String, and the luscious voice of Emeline Michel (who was given her rightful title of the “Queen Of Haitian Song”). Those who’ve never experienced such a cross-pollination of styles will be in for a real treat. Ushers at Mondavi Center should be prepared for lots of dancing in the aisles once the infectious grooves kick in. 1 Shields Avenue in Davis, www.globalfest.org.
