This Friday’s Guest DJ: SANTA OSCURIDAD

SANTA OSCURIDAD is a blend of hard rock and metal en español!  The band was founded in December of 2017 by an unlikely duo of musicians, Texas metal legend guitarist Larry Barragán of Helstar and the 2-Time Grammy nominated Tejano legend Rudy Rocha of La Fiebre.  The thought of doing all the songs in Spanish with all the turmoil over immigration and language barriers may seem like an insane concept, but to SANTA OSCURIDAD it makes perfect sense.

Music transcends all boundaries of race and language, and with a full head of steam they are spearheading that movement in their hometown of Houston, Texas! The band is finishing up recording a full length 11 song album, and is looking to secure a deal, hoping to have their first full-length release by year’s end.

On the Guest DJ Show this Friday, founding guitarist Larry Barragán of SANTA OSCURIDAD will play his favorite and/or inspirational music tracks. After his playlist, we’ll play a handful of tracks off their latest release simply titled II.

The Friday Guest DJ Hour Show airs at the following times:

15:00 and 21:00 Central Europe
9:00 am and 3:00 pm US East Coast
6:00 am and 12:00 pm US West Coast

Find ways to tune in here.
