Having sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and touring almost nonstop since the early ’70s, the Doobie Brothers have been a huge and influential force in rock for decades. Known for chart-topping hits like “Black Water,” “China Grove” and “What a Fool Believes,” founding members Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons continue to thrill fans with the classics while innovating with new music like the band’s 2010 release, “World Gone Crazy.” The power of their unique story even prompted a 2012 documentary: “Let the Music Play: The Story of the Doobie Brothers” — a story that shows no signs of stopping.

“Mamma Mia,” “Dancing Queen,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Waterloo,” “Money, Money, Money” . . . we dare you to look at a list of ABBA’s hits without a dance party starting in your head. Critics agree, the very closest you can come to seeing the original band live is to see ABBA: The Concert, a group that’s thrilled audiences worldwide with a sound so close to the original it will transport you back in time. Not a typical tribute band, ABBA: The Concert features members of the original ABBA band and has sold out shows in the Hollywood Bowl and played for crowds 20,000 strong!

Headed by Binghamton University alumna and acclaimed jazz drummer Sherrie Maricle, the Diva Jazz Orchestra is a group of 15 extremely talented and versatile musicians who just happen to be women. “They can’t help it — they were born that way,” they joke in their official bio. They may have a sense of humor about their work, but they make a serious big-band sound that’s been heard at Carnegie Hall alongside the New York Pops, at the JFK Center for the Arts in Washington, D.C., and on CBS Sunday Morning, not to mention their international appearances at notable venues in Paris, Rome, Colombia and beyond. Celebrating the band’s 20th anniversary this year, Sherrie Maricle returns to Binghamton with a high-energy show packed with improvisation, spontaneity and fun.

A celebration of American blues’ global influence, this program brings together three diverse musical points of view to produce a compelling and well-rounded night of music. The show is anchored by iconic folk-blues legend Taj Mahal. Joining him is recent recording partner and African blues guitarist/vocalist Vusi Mahlesela. And the trio is completed by the more modern rock perspective of Fredericks Brown. All three are joined by a talented band featuring Taj Mahal’s daughter.

Snarky Puppy has gone from an underground secret to one of the most internationally respected names in instrumental music, in the process gaining a reputation for putting on a live show unparalleled in energy, virtuosity and musicianship. Seamlessly fusing a deep knowledge and respect for musical tradition with sonic and conceptual innovation, the band is able to reach the most critical or most carefree audience. It’s a group of musicians from two different cultures and traditions — jazz and rock kids from white America, gospel/R&B kids from black America — and somewhere between a garage band and a collective of 25 or more players in regular rotation. The core remains consistent and features Grammy Award-winners Robert “Sput” Searight on drums (God’s Property, Snoop Dogg) and Shaun Martin on keys (Kirk Franklin, Erykah Badu), as well as young organ prodigy Cory Henry (Kenny Garrett, Kim Burell) and multi-instrumentalist Louis Cato (Marcus Miller, Q-Tip, George Duke). The group was conceived and is held together by award-winning bassist/guitarist/composer/arranger Michael League. Chicago Jam Scene says “their sound . . . will make your brain churn and your booty shake.”

“It is marvelous — crackling with dancing that snaps like a whip in a program framed successfully by a sophisticated context,” raves Anna Kesselgoff of The New York Times. The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, established in 1951, is today regarded as one of the greatest folkloric dance ensembles in the world. The group has performed worldwide winning the admiration of over a half-million people. The group aims to collect, preserve and share the authentic folk music, dance and dress of the Hungarian people. Some of the performances find their roots in traditions passed down for hundreds of year. Enjoy the music of both the world-famous Gipsy Orchestra and the highly talented Folk Orchestra as they share the sounds of traditional instruments that will surely immerse you in the rich Hungarian musical culture.general publIc $45; bu faculTy/sTaff and

Under the direction of Artistic Director Sergei Radchenko (a former principal dancer of the legendary Bolshoi Ballet), leading dancers from across Russia have forged an exciting company staging new productions of timeless classics — in “An impressive performance of classical ballet, energized with dramatic expression and sensational steps” (The Chronicle, Durham, N.C.).

Within just a few months of this world-renown gospel choir’s founding, its debut album shot to number 1 on Billboard’s World Music Chart — and that was just a sign of things to come. Blending elements of gospel, reggae, spirituals and American pop, the Soweto Gospel Choir has performed for Bill Clinton, Archbishop Desmond Tuto, President Mandela, Mariah Carey and Samuel L. Jackson, and has appeared on stage with Diana Ross, Deborah Cox and Danny K. They’ve graced American television audiences of The Today Show, Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno and the Oscars. Few musical experiences have touched audiences so diverse and few performances are as unique, fun and soul-stirring as the Soweto Gospel Choir.
