KKFI hosts ‘Taste of Tejano’ show without Lisa Lopez

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Tuesday night was the first “Taste of Tejano” show without Lisa Lopez-Galvan. The show she co-hosted was turned into a tribute to her.

She would’ve usually been behind the mic on Tuesday nights at 90.1 KKFI.

Her co-host, Tommy Andrade, said it most certainly will not be the same without her.

“We were kind of a brother and sister team,” Andrade said. “Not only was this a volunteer job for us, but this was a way for us to have fun outside of our jobs and our lives.”

Andrade dedicated the show to her. Listeners in the community showed their support by calling in and giving their condolences.

“I’m going to miss her infectious laugh,” Andrade said. “She was always the life of the party. She was kind to everybody and always had a smile on her face. She was just great to see all the time and great to be around.”

Kelly Dougherty with KKFI said Lopez-Galvan was very vibrant, energetic, and servant-hearted.

“She had an incredible amount of talent that she gave back,” Dougherty said. “Our mission here is to serve the underserved and the people who get missed in mainstream media, and that’s what she did with the Tejano music.”
