Louisiana Dance Hall presents:
Let’s take a broader look at the Louisiana music picture. Recently I was browsing on NOLA.com and saw an article that highlights “Louisiana’s top 40 most-influential artists” of all time. So let’s check them out. Hope you hear some new sounds today! Not all may be your cup of tea, or as danceable as our usual mix, but let’s try something a little different … because that’s what WRIR is all about!
