05: WOMAD 2014

Since 2000, Globesonic has delivered the best of international cultures with the understanding that diversity is a powerful tool for uniting people. Just as individuals have five senses to navigate their environment, hosts Fabian Alsultany and Derek Beres discuss the five pillars of Globesonic—music, cuisine, fashion, comedy, and ideas—to explore the extraordinary artistic achievements of the planet. During a time when many nations are undergoing an insular, nationalist streak, it is more important than ever to celebrate the rich traditions this world has to offer. It is better for the health of cultures and of the planet to share and exchange, and to remember we all desire similar goals: to eat well, listen to good music, to laugh, and to be exposed to new ideas that change us for the better. Globesonic is the home for these ideas to shine.
