Electric Cowbell and Barbes are thrilled to announce Secret Planet 2026 at Drom on January 10! For the past 13 years, Secret Planet has presented a Manhattan showcase that coincides with APAP and Winter Jazz Fest as a ritual to celebrate and promote new talent from around the world. The event presents 8 artists and aims to be as much of a celebratory music festival as it is an industry showcase. �This year’s edition doubles as a celebration of immigration and the profound impact it has had over musical cultures the world around.
Immigration is the original cross-pollinator and one of the most powerful engines of cultural evolution - fostering new musical styles that are the product of hybridization brought in by multiple waves of immigrants, a truth embodied NYC whose multiple identities are a combination of cultural imports and cultural cohabitation. As this rich ecosystem is today being brutally attacked, we keep promoting and celebrating its richness.
Featuring: Martha Redbone|Sangat feat Sonny Singh & Qais Essar | Maria Mazzotta |Maraca Bruja |Dogo du Togo Gili Yalo | Cheo y los Consentidos de la Casa | DJ Modrums | and Independent Grand all-vinyl pop-up store highlighting independent music labels!
