Kansas City-founded Latin band Making Movies is returning to the metro this weekend for a Dia de los Muertos concert that honors local loved ones who have died, including Lisa Lopez-Galvan, the beloved radio host killed in the shooting after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally. The Grammy-nominated group is using the holiday tradition of remembrance to tie together grief, music, and community in a city still mourning her loss.
According to FOX4KC.com, the band plans to debut its new album, Una Vida, while honoring those losses during the weekend show. The outlet’s reporting confirms Lopez-Galvan is among the loved ones being honored at the concert, though it does not detail the full program or how other honorees were chosen.
Making Movies released Una Vida late in October, its fifth studio album, as the band continued reckoning with change, growth, and loss, according to Kansas City Magazine. The magazine reports the band was set to celebrate the record with local fans at the Folly Theater on November 7. Making Movies has also been described as Grammy-nominated.

Remembering Lisa Lopez-Galvan
Lisa Lopez-Galvan, 43, was identified as the person killed during the shooting that followed the Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally in February 2024, according to KCUR. She was well known in some circles as DJ “Lisa G,” and she also co-hosted the weekly radio show “A Taste of Tejano” on KKFI 90.1 FM, the station reported.
A 2024 Day of the Dead celebration in Kansas City included an altar honoring Lopez-Galvan, as reported by kctv5.com.
