Sunday, July 13th 3:00 p.m.: GLOBAL FAMILY DAY!  Central Park Summer Stage

From masked musicians to marionette puppets, sci-fi to go-go, Cuban to African rhythms, Global Family Day has something for the entire family!

Big Nazo is an international performance group of visual artists, puppet performers, and masked musicians who create bizarre and hilarious larger-than-life sized characters, environments, and spectacles. Their innovative mask and puppetry techniques combine stand-up comedy, Sci-Fi, Go-Go dancing, daredevil stunts, soap opera hysterics, and professional wrestling with live rock and funk music and audience-interactive improvisation. Little Maestros, the award-winning music program from Kidville, is New York’s #1 children’s music sensation, named “the best music class in NYC” by the Lila Guide of New York City. With its incredible success,

Little Maestros performs for over 10,000 families each week. Little Maestros' third album “Postcards From My Mind” was recently released on Rhino/Warn Bros Records and is receiving rave reviews. More than just salsa for kids, singer-songwriter Jose Conde takes his Cuban roots and grafts them onto a dizzying range of Afro-Latin styles to bring to life an imaginary band of cats and dogs that create the ultimate special musical sauce (salsa especial). Baby Loves Salsa is a dance and music celebration geared toward Spanish and English speakers alike.

Cinderella Samba, performed by Puppeteers from the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre, will be presented on the field at 2:15 p.m. before the start of the main stage performances. Set in the lush landscape of Brazil, the updated fairy tale finds Cinderella and her Prince in a Samba contest at the Carnival Ball. “The music is certainly infectious,” according to the NY Times.
