Friday was the last of the Globe Sonic Pier Parties for this year. It was another exquisitely entertaining party. We stayed all the way to the sweet end. Their song selection traversed the World as usual. This time they even played some Brazilian Funk, “Que Dancar, Que Dancar!” All in all a great time.If you missed it you can experience their first Pier Party for this summer here.
Enjoy,

Fof the past three summers on the West Side of Manhattan at Riverside Park a Pier Party happens. Imagine being outside dancing to the coolest world music mixes every heard. The Globesonic DJ’s spin an eclectic mix of music from all over the world. The music is accompanied by the Body Temple Drummers. It’s an organic, earthy, cultural gathering. While we were there we heard music from Brazil, India, Jamaica, and the Middle East, and that was just during the last hour of this four hour dance party. The music is mixed with a driving house beat while the Body Temple Drummers add their African inspired flavor to the rhythm. The crowd is reflected by the types of music the DJ’s spin. Everyone is having a great time dancing and swaying to the music. Everyone is free to be themselves.Come as you are and dance your ass off.
Enjoy,

Back in 2005 I went to Central Park Summer Stage’s Dance Party with Tortured Soul. This was my first time seeing them. They are good! I happen to really like house music. House music is one of those musical styles where either you love it or you hate it. If you love it you would love these guys. What’s amazing is seeing (and hearing) a three piece band play live house music. I recorded some video of the concert (not enough though.)
I then saw them again in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s (BAM) Rhythm & Blues Festival. The first batch of pictures are from Summer Stage. The second are from BAM’s R&B Festival.
Enjoy!

I love Summer in New York City. There are a gazillion things to do, from free concerts to street fairs, from outdoor dance parties to live performance art. The city is buzzing with activity. This blog captures the fun and energy that is New York City during the summer months. We attend all the coolest events in and around the city. I attend Summer Stage, Celebrate Brooklyn, PS1 Warm Up, Globesonic in Riverside Park and any other chill happenings. Whether it is Reggae or Reggaeton, Hip Hop or House, Salsa or Samba, Compas or Calypso. Whatever the style, we are there to enjoy it and share it with you. Jimmy Cliff, Raphael Saadiq, KRS-One, Kat Deluna, Ozomatli, The Wailers, Nile Rogers and Chic, Angelique Kidjo; these are some of the amazing acts we\'ve covered and there are many more to come. With a name like NYC Summer Blog you might think that everything goes on hiatus when it gets cold. Not so! It is always summer at NycSummer! Look for past NYC shows and other special events from other parts of the world, even when the temperature drops here in New York. So, browse the Gallery Index and enjoy the sights and sounds that is Summer in New York City! Terry
