❗️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! 🥰

𝐓𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐃 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄! (Friendly bargaining encouraged!)
@samasamaart and @chris_cardi are teaming up for our first collaboration this weekend, with the support of @shopmadeindc!
Inspired by the tiangges back home in the Philippines, we’re bringing a Filipino-style bazaar to DC!
Unlike our usual SAMASAMA markets, TIANGGE is all about bargain hunting, browsing, and finding a little bit of everything! Think clothing, accessories, vintage and secondhand finds, collectibles, household goods, handmade items, and all sorts of unexpected treasures.
A tiangge isn’t just about handmade or vintage goods. You can find brand-new items, secondhand treasures, and just about anything in between. And yes, *tawad* (bargaining) is welcome!
