Global A Go-GoGlobal A Go-Go: Friday July 11, 2014

Karikatura (pictured above) is a band that sounds like an amalgam of all the music you hear if you spend a day walking around New York City neighborhoods: the sounds coming out of apartment windows, shops, passing cars and even the subway.  It's Afrobeat, cumbia, klezmer, hip hop and more rolled up into one young, very enegetic sextet.

Speaking of the subway, one of their longest-running gigs is in the Union Square subway station, as part of the Music Under New York program.  They've also toured the world, and Ropeadope Records just released their first full-length album.  They're making a stop in Richmond on Friday night at Balliceaux; before that happens, they'll do a live set on this week's edition of Global A Go-Go.
