Global NOLA (formerly AfricaNOLA) is an artist-run organization that promotes and preserves global music and performing arts culture in New Orleans and throughout the world.

As global cultural ambassadors, we produce the Global Groove festival, which brings New Orleans performing artists together on a virtual stage with performing artists across four continents: bands and dancers with roots in Africa, the Caribbean, North America, South America, and Europe share their immense talents with our global audience. Free and open to all, this event shines a bright light on the plight of performing artists globally during the pandemic. United in supporting justice and equality for all, the performing artists of the Global Groove bring the world closer together in love, harmony, and expanded cultural worldview.
