WHAT FESTIVALGOERS ARE SAYING:

"I've come to ¡Globalquerque! both days every year and continuously spread the word, getting friends excited and there. In fact my brother from NY state is planning his vacation around it this year. He's a music collector and can't wait!"
—Lois V.

"Thanks again for an AMAZING weekend. I have been to many global music events, including a handful of WOMAD festivals, and ¡Globalquerque! ranks among the best. Awesome venue, world-class artists, friendly vibe... it was outstanding. I hope you're truly proud of the accomplishment of pulling it all together... get some rest and smile when you think about all of the wonderful people you brought together for that magical weekend!"
—Matthew Moon, KXCI-FM (Tucson, AZ)

"I just wanted to reiterate in writing my delight in being able to participate in ¡Globalquerque! '07! The spirited performances and workshops and general sharing made this perhaps the best festival I have attended in 30 years of touring!!"
—Kevin Locke, Festival Artist

"There was not a dull moment during the two days. I can't wait to see who gets invited next year."
—Ricardo

"It is so enlightening to be exposed to new and different music. Every performance was a gem but I was especially taken by Yungchen Lhamo, whose beautiful voice and presence who was able to instill a sense of peace in a large gathering of people, and Fiamma Fumana, a group that had energy to spare and engaged the audience with their music. These two performers were unknown to me but now are on my list of favorites."
—Phil M.
