New Orleans' Spanish-Language Radio Connects And Serves Communities

Kate Richardson
Radio Tropical serves New Orleans' Spanish-speaking community with music, sports and news.

Right now, the Hispanic and Latino population in Baton Rouge is suffering with particular needs after the floods. Some of the problems are the same as those faced by Latino residents and workers after Katrina, and some are different. WWNO's "All Things New Orleans" asked Eduardo Courtade for insight on that situation, as well as other issues and events being talked about in the region's Spanish-speaking communities. He's Program Director for local stations Radio Tropical and La Fabulosa, which play music in addition to covering sports and news in Spanish.

Courtade will drop in to WWNO each month for more conversation on our dynamic and diverse Latino population.
