Six Upcoming Day of The Dead Events Happening in Los Angeles & A Post in Remembrance of The 6th Annual Dia de los Muertos Festival in Uptown Whittier

I didn’t realize it until I heard Lalo Alcaraz say it himself. I sat down in the dreary KPFK waiting room and listened quietly while I waited for my turn to come up on The Pocho Hour of Power, “Day of the Dead is the new Christmas, it comes earlier every year.” He was damn…
