Clandestino was founded by Nicolas Paredes as a monthly alternative Latino dance night at Crescent Ballroom, but Paredes and crew quickly realized that switching locations and schedules up made more sense than hosting a monthly event. Now, Clandestino acts as a pop-up night, stopping at venues like the Rhythm Room and the Heard Museum. Best of all, the Clandestino team helped coordinate a Latin stage at the Viva PHX festival, which took over a massive chunk of downtown Phoenix in March, hosting groups like LA's Buyepongo and Thee Commons at the Goldwater Room and the Renaissance Hotel.
