In our latest VF Live, we head to @alohagotsoul where @lestalusan, aka Les The DJ, joins us for a set of music reminiscent of the Manila Sound era of Original Pilipino Music (OPM). Head to the link in bio to watch now.

❗️MEET THE DJ ❗️say hey to Les The DJ 😎✌🏽 @lestalusan

❤️our DJs are the heartbeat of La Betty and in this series, you’ll get to to meet the incredible humans you see and hear behind the decks.

✨@lestalusan is not only a music aficionado, but also a community organizer, culture preservationist, creative teacher, ancestral archivist, and so much more.

📍originally from Manila, Philippines, Les infuses a wide diaspora of musical storytelling into all of their sets. we love how Les takes us on a journey, often stopping us mid-bop, where we just *have* to know where they got that record (and the answer is usually deep deep deep in a bin someplace like Tokyo). Les brings a passion, curiosity, and joy to their sets which is infectious to everyone around them.

💋@lestalusan played opening weekend la Betty - catch them back next week for our 1️⃣ year anniversary on 3/20 🎂

we love you, Les The DJ! 🥰
