OneBeat is an incubator for music-based social entrepreneurship, where innovative musicians from around the world launch collaborative projects.

OneBeat convenes musical changemakers from around the world to create and perform new work in the U.S. and in select cities around the world to explore how artists and institutions can work together to rejuvenate local economies through music, technology and the creative arts. More than a music festival or a simple exchange, OneBeat is an incubator for new forms of musical expression, a hatchery f

or novel ways to use music as a tool for the betterment of our communities, and an ever-growing web of interconnected artists and change-makers.

Come to Barbès this Saturday at 4pm to experience these talented artists. Melissa Almaguer & Eliana Fishbeyn 💫

Melissa Almageur’s primary instrument is tap dance, with a practice rooted in a deep exploration of sound as it is experienced in everyday life—construction, birds, conversations, wind, and the rhythms that are constantly shaping our environments. Expanding beyond the traditional tap board, her performance setup incorporates textured surfaces, drums, gongs, seeds, chains, field recordings, and found objects, allowing her to investigate a wider spectrum of sound.

Eliana Fishbeyn performs on a self-designed electronic instrument that she has been developing over the past 1.5 years, drawing inspiration from Butch Morris’s Conduction, Ramona Andra Langley’s Crash Music, and other digital-age folk practices.

See you all there! Ticket link in our bio ⬆️.

This series is rooted in FSN’s ethos that encourages the diminishing of boundaries in music-making and music-listening — be they ethnic, cultural, or stylistic. Each concert features an FSN-curated artist who, in turn, invites a guest to share the bill. Each performer will offer an intimate 20-30 min salon style set, inviting audiences to experience a unique, intimate offering of sound and story.

This Weeks ?!? features alfrednomad 💫

“Seasons” is a soulful collaboration from CD2: Curating Dopeness 2 The Collaboration, bringing together Greg Nyce, King Cooley, Alfred Nomad, and Dimelo for a record that feels both nostalgic and timeless.

With shades of Kanye West’s “We Major”, this track delivers lush instrumentation, heartfelt lyricism, and the kind of chemistry that reminds you why discovering independent artists is so rewarding.

If you’ve ever found yourself searching for music that feels soulful, cinematic, and rooted in the spirit of classic hip-hop, this one is for you.
