If there was ever a place for a universal music to emerge, it would be Queens, the most diverse locale in the world. And that's the music Sebastian Noelle & the Animal Channel will perform in a free concert this weekend. Their music draws on influences from Brazil, India, Africa, The Balkans, and The Mid-East. (Noelle teaches guitar at the nearby Queens Conservatory of Music.)
