Global Beast is distinctively groovy! Have you checked it out?

GLOBAL BEATS is Pittsburgh's entity of world music and multiculturalism, featuring lounge and dance music not only from the founder’s, Carla Andrea Leininger, native Brazil, but from countries around the world, juxtaposing Caribbean music with pulsating grooves from the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and United States.

Global Beats is a glimpse into the future. This upbeat, global dance party features traditional and underground hot blends of world dance and lounge rhythms. The constant fusion of beats creates a wide spectrum of music introducing the audience to one unique night of entertainment and international ambiance.

Working with various ethnic communities and music groups, Global Beats is dedicated to the livelihood of world music and the exchange of culture by creating special theme nights such as: Brazilian Carnaval, Gypsy and Arabic Grooves or Afro-Latin Party. Occasional evenings with the Brazilian  " Timbeleza " percussion group or the “Gypsy Strings” bring the charming essence of live music.

On June 28th Global Beats celebrated the anniversary of the Shadow Lounge by presenting Nation Beat at their Block Party! We also partnered with PUMP at Stay and Play Friday on Market Square on June 27th and brough Javier Garcia from Miami to perfom with Nation Beat.  It was our first outdoor event and the crowd enjoyed Latin and Brazilian music in one amazining performance!

By creating awareness and fun around world music and cultural diversity in a welcoming environment where being different is being equal, Global Beats hopes to foster connection and understanding between the all the unique people that call Pittsburgh “home.”
