## Reviews

The festival has been acclaimed as "one of the country's top world music festivals." National Geographic called ¡Globalquerque! "another great regional 'microfestival' that punches far above its weight... New Mexico's ¡Globalquerque! festival offers some of the most adventurous world music programming set against one of the Southwest's most beautiful cities... the festival is becoming a destination in its own right," while the U.K. publication Songlines hailed it as "world-class."
