A family affair and big festival energy

This edition is a family affair. Moni Saldaña joins Raul Campos to break down some serious sonic connections featuring Global Beat alumni and KCRW mainstays alike. Grenda’s “Eye For You” is sung in English, fusing downtempo electronics and emo-melodics into a yearning, pulsating gem. Nsqk (pronounced like the powdery milk treat) brings us a sonic confection in “El Tiempo Que Necesitas.” And Los Benders’ “Playa Privada” is a bouncy, whistle-centric ray of sunshine just begging to be shouted along to with a massive festival crowd.
