Malcriada y Valgur

Two genre-defying forces from Mexico—Malcriada and Valgur—arrive in Houston for an unforgettable night of sonic resistance, performative intensity, and visceral energy at Wonky Power.

Malcriada, the rising duo of Mathilde Sobrino and Pepe Pecas, exploded onto the scene in early 2024 and quickly became a global sensation in the Dreamcore and Weirdcore aesthetic movements. Their music fuses darkwave, industrial, and emotional catharsis—made viral through stunning visuals and vulnerable content that speaks to mental health, self-care, and digital-era anxieties. With over a million fans across platforms, their live shows are immersive, surreal, and emotionally raw.

Valgur, an experimental / avant-pop duo from Juchitán, Oaxaca, is led by siblings Elizabeth and Hugo Valdivieso. Renowned for their theatrical, religiously inspired performances, Valgur combines psychedelic synthpop and Zapotec storytelling with bold political and social commentary. Their art challenges colonial structures, gender norms, and injustice—wrapped in a lush, cinematic soundscape that’s equal parts beauty and rebellion.

A surreal collision of dreamcore, avant-pop, and rebellious performance art.
