Bahala Na! on Eaton Radio // September 6, 2023 by Les Talusan

📷 me in the studio

This month’s episode of Bahala Na! on Eaton Radio is up. First song is the first track off of Slowdive’s latest LP, “Everything Is Alive” - an instant favorite as soon as I listened to the whole record last week 🌿

As per my usual “bahala na” ways, I flipped through my records and pulled these out for this episode within 15 minutes. Some new and some old favorites. Give it a listen! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 📻

Hataw Na! by Les Talusan

IMG_2749.PNG

Early in the summer, I was thinking about making a mix of 🇵🇭 pop and dance hits from the late ‘80s-early ‘90s. Some of them tv and radio hits from when I was growing up in Pinas.

Vex Ruffin invited me for a guest slot on his show with possiblemusic, “Manila Times” on NTS Radio and I thought it would be a good time to finally finish and share this mix.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Bahala Na on Eaton Radio by Les Talusan

IMG_3444.jpg

I recently started a radio show at Eaton Hotel’s in-house radio station, Eaton Radio. It’s a community-based radio station with a DIY spirit, so it seems that I fit right in. My weekly radio show, Bahala Na, is all music, no talking. Bahala Na is a popular expression from the Philippines that is similar to the Spanish phrase "que sera sera". It reflects both resiliency and a fatalistic attitude of the culture that I grew up with. Expect a variety of tunes from my eclectic record collection. I stream on Instagram Live and Eaton Radio, Thursdays at 2:00PM. It’s Women’s History Month and for the whole month of March, I’ll only be playing women-fronted groups.

Here's a mix I made that includes some songs from last week's show. Some songs are on heavy rotation, some are records I bought from my recent trip to Thailand with my favorite digging partner and some were hidden for a long time in my record shelves (that I need help organizing).

Bahala Na on Eaton Radio Mix (Women’s History Month Edition 1.0) by Les The DJ
