Live loop guitarist Genie and performance artist Dohee Lee describe their collaboration, and DJ Leydis talks music south of the border.

YBCA's annual two-day music festival, New Frequencies Fest 2013: Next Wave Global Sounds brings us two adventurous nights of underground music from the Americas, featuring genre-bending artists who fuse Appalachian and funk, Afro-Peruvian and electronica, Latin alternative and soul, and Global and experimental. These two programs are at once a reflection upon the past and an anticipation of the future. These accomplished vocalists and instrumentalists blend the sounds of their indigenous roots with the broad spectrum of contemporary American music with a pop sensibility from North and South of the border to create an entirely new vocabulary. Be musically transported across two continents, from the hills of Kentucky to the mountains of Peru, over the course of two electrifying evenings. It's a journey you won't want to miss.
