A dozen band from around the world will take the stage at Globalfest 2012 in New York City this weekend.
Bands like Yemen Blues and Debo Band will perform.
Adding its sounds to the mix will be M.A.K.U Sound System, a young band out of the thriving Colombian music scene across New York’s East River in Queens.
Bruce Wallace talked to band members Juan Ospina, Liliana Conde and Camilo Rodriguez.
