Our third team of 24 Hr DJs took their seats today at Noon. DJ Jetpack and DJ McKayKay will be on air until tomorrow at Noon hoping to end our pledge drive on a strong note. If you'd like to help them, you can go to wtulneworleans.com/donate
Every year during our pledge drive we choose our most esteemed DJ's to broadcast in 24-hour stints all weekend. We call it Marathon and this year it started with DJ Jul Thief.
WTUL's Juliana Stricklen and Catalina Gallagher interview Hector Flores of Las Cafeteras, a six-piece band that originally started as group of students at Eastside Cafe, a community space in East Los Angeles, where they learned to play son jarocho, a traditional music style from Veracruz, Mexico. All of the band's members are children of immigrants and often weave their family and personal stories into the music, rewriting many traditional songs with their own music and compositions. They will play Friday, March 2 at Hi Ho Lounge with Orkestra Mendoza of Tuscon, AZ.
When they're not on the air many of WTUL's DJs are active in New Orleans' experimental, electronic, performance art, drag & dance scenes!
Come out to the Circle Bar this Saturday February 24 after 10 PM and check out some of our talented staff and some of their talented friends in person.
