For the fourth straight year, Sonido Clash goes deep into the emerging sounds of alternative Latinx music with about two dozen acts from across the diaspora on four stages, as well as live poetry, a panel discussion, a car show, a dance workshop and tons more. Headlining this year is the Puerto Rico-born duo Nina Sky. Also on the slate are dream-pop artist Katzu Oso, DJ-producer Dave Nada, Chicano visual artist El Oms, Madrid-based reggaeton artist Ms. Nina, the GaGa-esque queer ranchera singer San Cha, and many others. It all goes down at the School of Arts & Culture at Mexican Heritage Plaza.

Fresh off the release of his newest single “Crazy4luvinU,” Synth-pop balladeer Katzù Oso is making the trek north from his home base in LA. With only a handful of singles under his belt, the guy’s still relatively new to the game. Still, his dextrous use of shimmery synth melodies and simple, syncopated drums on tracks like “Honeydew” have earned him some considerable buzz. All of this comes in advance of his forthcoming debut mixtape, Pastel, due out July 20. Fans who make it out to the show will get to hear tracks off the new project ahead of its release. (YK)
