MLS SUMMER BEAT: The Music Behind This Year’s California Clásico

When fans arrive at Avaya Stadium on Saturday, they’ll be greeted by the unique electronic sounds of Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich+Fussible setting the vibe ahead of the first California Clásico of the season.

The two-time-Grammy-nominated duo is one of three artists selected by MLS for its inaugural Summer Beat concert series, which is being held across three locations during Memorial Day Weekend, including San Jose.

Bostich+Fussible (real names Ramón Amezcua and Pepe Mogt) are known as the godfathers of Nortec, a hybrid musical genre they developed in the early 2000s in their native Tijuana, Mexico.

Nortec combines electronica with instrumentation from norteño music and other Mexican styles, such as banda and ranchera.
