Summer finally seems to be showing its face and Chicago — and with it come the outdoor music festivals and concerts that are the soundtrack to the season. On this edition of Global Notes, host and producer of Vocalo’s Beat Latino Catalina Maria Johnson gives us a preview of what’s coming our way for the rest of the summer. From Taste of Chicago and the Millenium Park Summer Music Series to Pilsen Fest and Lincoln Square’s Square Roots Festival, Catalina prepares us for a summer of glorious sound. She also points us to some of her favorite artists you can hear at those events, including Bomba Estéreo and Celso Piña.
